11. And his wealth will not benefit him when he falls into the pit (of Hell) [4].
[4] ﴿تردّي﴾ ﴿ردي﴾ means to throw something down from a height onto the ground or to throw it into a pit from the ground so that it is destroyed, and ﴿تردي﴾ means to fall into a well or pit oneself and be destroyed. Here, the pit refers to the pit of Hell. That is, this second type of person will fall into the pit of Hell, and at that time, his wealth, which he did not spend in the way of Allah, will be of no use to him because that wealth will have remained in the world. How could it benefit him there?
