They are aware of nothing at all except within the metamorphosed states forever." And that is [the meaning of] His words: {And the disbeliever will say: "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"} 1 . That is because he is in eternal punishment until the Day of Unveiling (Yawm al-Kashf).
And the words of the Almighty: {Indeed, those who disbelieve, if they had all that is in the earth and the like of it with it to ransom themselves thereby from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment} 2 .
He says: If they possessed all the gold and silver in the earth—which are great in their eyes—and due to their proximity to being [fixed] within it, to ward off from themselves the Greater Punishment on the Day of Resurrection, which is the Rising of the Qa'im (Qiyam al-Qa'im) and the Unveiling of the Cover, their wealth would not benefit them now. It is but a solidification (Rusuqh) that has been solidified from gold and silver. On the Day of Unveiling, they shall be brought out from the solidification and transferred to the Durdur, the Fa'us, and being slain by the sword. Their wealth shall not benefit them, nor shall any ransom be accepted from them; rather, the evil of the punishment shall touch them.
