The Holy Quran 29:55 — Surah Al-'Ankabut

Arabic text

يَوْمَ يَغْشَىٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Translation

(This will take place) On the day (of Qiyaamah) when the punishment will envelope them from above and from beneath their feet (and they will be unable to escape). It will then be said to them, "Taste (the punishment for) what you used to do (in the world)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Almighty Allah will say this, or the punishment itself will speak — just as a hadith states concerning the wealth of one who did not pay zakat: it will become a snake, coil around his neck, tear at his cheeks and say: “I am your wealth, I am your treasure.”
