سُوْرَةُ النَّحْلِ
Surah An-Nahl (16) — Ayah 62
وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفْرَطُونَ ﴿62﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
They assign to Allâh that which they dislike (for themselves), and their tongues assert the falsehood that the better things will be theirs. No doubt for them is the Fire, and they will be the first to be hastened on into it, and left there neglected. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî)

62. 1. That is, daughters. This repetition is for emphasis.
62. 2. This describes their second fault: that they deal unjustly with Allah. Their tongues utter this lie that their end will be good, that there are good things for them, and that their Hereafter will be as good as their worldly life.
62. 3. That is, certainly their end is "good," and that is the Fire of Hell, in which they will be the forerunners among the inhabitants of Hell, the first to enter. These are the meanings of فَرَط as established by hadith as well. The Prophet ﷺ said, "اَ نَا فَرَطُکُمْ عَلَی الْحَوْضِ" (Sahih Bukhari) "I will be your forerunner at the Hawd (Pond of Kawthar)." Another meaning of مفرَطُوْنَ is that they will be thrown into Hell and then forgotten.
