ٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالٗا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
The one whose only concern is to amass wealth and count it; he has no other concern.
يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ
He thinks that the wealth of his he amasses will save him from death, and that he will remain forever in this worldly life.
كَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ
It is not as this ignorant one thinks; he will surely be thrown into the fire of hell that crushes and breaks everything that is thrown into it, due to its immense strength.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ
O Messenger! What do you know of this fire that smashes everything that is thrown into it?
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُوقَدَةُ
Indeed, it is the blazing fire of Allah.
ٱلَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةِ
The fire that penetrates the bodies of the people until it reaches their hearts.
إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةٞ
Indeed, it will close up around those that will be punished with it.
فِي عَمَدٖ مُّمَدَّدَةِۭ
For a prolonged, lengthy period of time, so long that they will never leave it.
