Al-A'raf 7:48

<div class="arabic uthmani">مَآ أَغْنَى عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ</div><p>("Of what benefit to you was your gathering...") meaning, your great numbers, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ</div><p>("...and your arrogance") This Ayah means, your great numbers and wealth did not save you from Allah's torment. Rather, you are dwelling in His torment and punishment. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَهَـؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتُمْ لاَ يَنَالُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ</div><p>(Are they those, of whom you swore that Allah would never show them mercy) refers to the people of Al-A`raf who will be told when Allah decrees: </p><div class="arabic uthmani">ادْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلاَ أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ</div><p>((Behold! It has been said to them): "Enter Paradise, no fear shall be on you, nor shall you grieve.") </p>

And the dwellers on the Heights call unto men whom they know by their marks, (saying): What did your multitude and that in which ye took your pride avail you?

The men on the heights will call to certain men whom they will know from their marks, saying: "Of what profit to you were your hoards and your arrogant ways?

And the men on Al-A'raf (the wall) will call unto the men whom they would recognise by their marks, saying: "Of what benefit to you were your great numbers (and hoards of wealth), and your arrogance against Faith?"

And the dwellers of the Elevations will call to men they recognize by their features, saying, “Your hoardings did not avail you, nor did your arrogance.”
