Language points and insights
عَنِيدٍ

عَنِيدٍ – العَنَد was used to describe the العَظْم “Bone” which is stuck in the throat and is stubborn and won’t move. Here it refers to someone who is stubborn in his disbelief and would not budge from their position.
“Stuck and won’t move” — the image of stubbornness
Focused takeaway
The ayah delivers a dual command to the Angels to cast into Jahannam anyone marked by two intensifying traits: extreme, persistent ingratitude/disbelief (كَفَّارٍ) and unyielding stubbornness (عَنِيدٍ).
