١١٠١٠ - حدثنا (خلف) (١) بن خليفة عن أبي هاشم عن أبي وائل عن مسروق في قوله (تعالى) (٢): ﴿سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ﴾. قال: هو الرجل يرزقه ⦗٣٩٠⦘ اللَّه المال فيمنع قرابته الحق الذي جعل اللَّه لهم فيه، فيجعل حية فيطوقها، فيقول: مالي ومالك، (فتقول) (٣) الحية: أنا مالك.
Hazrat Masruq, in the explanation of Allah Almighty’s command { سَیُطَوَّقُوْنَ مَا بَخِلُوْا بِہٖ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَۃِ }, says that it refers to the person whom Allah has blessed with the bounty of wealth, but he did not give his relative their due right. So that wealth will be turned into a snake for him, which will be made into a collar for him. Then he will say, “What relation is there between you and me?” (i.e., why have you clung to me?) The snake will say to him, “I am your wealth.”
