The Holy Quran 9:35 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

يَوْمَ يُحْمَىٰ عَلَيْهَا فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَىٰ بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ ۖ هَـٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ

Translation

(This punishment shall be meted to them on) The day when it (their gold and silver) will be heated in the fire of Jahannam and their foreheads, their sides and their backs will be branded (burnt) with it (because you turned your backs and your sides when you were asked to spend your wealth for Allaah's pleasure). (It will then be told to them) "This is what you used to hoard for yourselves, so taste (the punishment for) what you hoarded."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The end of the miserly rich: when a miserly rich man is asked to spend in the path of Allah, his forehead creases into a frown; press him further and he turns aside and shifts his flank towards you; and if even then he cannot get away, he turns his back and walks off.
