[Machine] Ibn Abbas said, "{and the means of contact between them were cut off}" means that the connections in the world were severed.
وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: {وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الأَسْبَابُ} قَالَ الْوُصُلاَتُ فِي الدُّنْيَا.
The Prophet ﷺ said (regarding the Verse), "A Day when all mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds,' (that day) they will stand, drowned in their sweat up to the middle of their ears."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} قَالَ يَقُومُ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي رَشْحِهِ إِلَى أَنْصَافِ أُذُنَيْهِ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people will sweat so profusely on the Day of Resurrection that their sweat will sink seventy cubits deep into the earth, and it will rise up till it reaches the people's mouths and ears."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَعْرَقُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَرَقُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ سَبْعِينَ ذِرَاعًا وَيُلْجِمُهُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ آذَانَهُمْ
