➋ { مَاۤ اَغْنٰى عَنْكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ:} The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, a person from among the people of the Fire who was the most prosperous in the world will be brought, then he will be dipped once in the Fire, then it will be said: 'O son of Adam! Did you ever see any comfort?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, O my Lord!'" [ مسلم، صفات المنافقین واحکامہم، باب صبغ أنعم أہل الدنیا فی النار…… : ۲۸۰۷ ]
