Tafsir jalalayn

drinking like the drinking (read sharba or shurba; verbal noun) of thirsty camels' (hm is the plural of masculine haymn and feminine haym, similar [in pattern] to `atshn, `atsh, `thirsty').

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

And drink the Hamim on top of it. And you will drink (that) like Al-Him!
Hamim is boiling water, while Al-Him means thirsty camels, according to Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Ikrimah.

As-Suddi said

"Al-Him is a disease that strikes camels, causing them to feel thirst, and they drink until they die."

Therefore, he said, the people of Hell, will never quench their thirst from drinking Hamim.

Allah, the Exalted, said,

هَذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
