Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,

Which mounts directed at the hearts.

In extended columns.

In outstretched columns.
