Ayah: 91

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٞ فَلَن يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡ أَحَدِهِم مِّلۡءُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَهَبٗا وَلَوِ ٱفۡتَدَىٰ بِهِۦٓۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ

(91) Those who Deny and die as Deniers, ˹as much as˺ Earth’s fill of gold will not be accepted from any of them^[642], even if he were to ransom himself with it—for those is a painful Punishment and they will have no helpers.

[642] Cf. 5:36 and 57:15. Anas Ibn Mālik (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “On the Day of Judgement, Almighty Allah poses a question to the one who is being tormented the least among the denizens of Hellfire: “If you possess all that the Earth holds, would you ransom yourself with it?” He says: “Yes!” Then Allah says: “I wanted from you much less than that—that you do not Associate any other ˹in worship˺ with Me, but you were bent on Associating with Me!” (al-Bukhārī: 6557, Muslim: 2805)
