بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ ١

(1) Woe to every scorner and mocker

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ ٢

(2) Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.[1987]

Notes

[1987]- Rather than spending in the way of Allāh.

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ ٣

(3) He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ ٤

(4) No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.[1988]

Notes

[1988]- i.e., Hellfire, which crushes and destroys all that enters it.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ ٥

(5) And what can make you know what is the Crusher?

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ ٦

(6) It is the fire of Allāh, [eternally] fueled,

ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ ٧

(7) Which mounts directed at the hearts.[1989]

Notes

[1989]- Covering them and penetrating them.

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ٨

(8) Indeed, it [i.e., Hellfire] will be closed down upon them

فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ ٩
