104:3Page 601
يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ ٣
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that the wealth of his he amasses will save him from death, and that he will remain forever in this worldly life.
104:4Page 601
كـَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ ٤
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.1
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.
O Messenger! What do you know of this fire that smashes everything that is thrown into it?
Indeed, it is the blazing fire of Allah.
The fire that penetrates the bodies of the people until it reaches their hearts.
104:8Page 601
إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةٞ ٨
Indeed, it [i.e., Hellfire] will be closed down upon them
Indeed, it will close up around those that will be punished with it.
For a prolonged, lengthy period of time, so long that they will never leave it.
