لَن تُغْنِيَ عَنْهُمْ أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
Lan tughniya AAanhum amwaluhum wala awladuhum mina Allahi shayan olaika ashabu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona

Occasion of revelation
(Hast thou not seen those who take for friends a folk with whom Allah is wroth?ﾅ and they will fancy that they have some standing. Lo! is it not they who are the liars?) [58:14-18]. Al-Suddi and Muqatil said: ﾓThis was revealed about Abd Allah ibn Nabtal, the hypocrite who used to keep the company of the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, and then report what he heard from him to the Jews. As the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, was sitting one day in one of his rooms he said: Now shall enter on you a man who has the heart of a tyrant and who looks through the eyes of the devilﾒ.
At that point Abd Allah ibn Nabtal who was blue of complexion came in. The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said to him: Why do you, and your friends, insult me?ﾒ He swore by Allah that he did not, but the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said that he did. The man went and brought his friends who then swore by Allah that they did not insult him. Allah, exalted is He, then revealed these versesﾔ.
Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya informed us> Muhammad ibn Jafar ibn Matar> Jafar ibn Muhammad al-Firyabi> Abu Jafar al-Nufayli> Zuhayr ibn Muawiyah> Simak ibn Harb> Said ibn Jubayr> Ibn Abbas who related to him that the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, was sitting under the shade of one of his rooms with a group of Muslims from whom the shade was slowly receding.
He said to them: ﾓA man will come to you and look at you with the eyes of the devil. When he comes do not speak with him!ﾔ A man of blue complexion then came. The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, called him and addressed him: ﾓWhy do you and so-and-so and so-and-so (he named a group of people) insult me?ﾔ The man left and brought all those named and they swore by Allah and apologized. Allah, exalted is He, revealed (On the day when Allah will raise them all together, then will they swear unto Him as they (now) swear unto you, and they will fancy that they have some standing. Lo! Is it not they who are the liars?). This was narrated by al-Hakim in his Sahih> al-Asamm> Ibn Affan> Amr al- Anqari> Israﾒil> Simak.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah the Exalted said,
لَن تُغْنِيَ عَنْهُمْ أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا...
Their children and their wealth will avail them nothing against Allah.
meaning, none of their possessions can avert the affliction when it is sent their way,
... أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ ﴿١٧﴾
They will be the dwellers of the Fire to dwell therein forever.
