As for this life, they lost when they killed their children and made it difficult
for themselves by prohibiting some types of their wealth, as an act of innovation
that they invented on their own. As for the Hereafter, they will end up in the worst
dwellings, because they used to lie about Allah and invent falsehood about Him.
Allah also said,
﴿قُلْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ
عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لاَ يُفْلِحُونَ - مَتَـعٌ فِى الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا
مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ الْعَذَابَ الشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ
﴾
(Say: "Verily, those who invent a lie against Allah will never be successful." (A
brief) enjoyment in this world! And then unto Us will be their return, then We shall
make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve.) ﴿10:69-70﴾
Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr bin Marduwyah recorded that Ibn `Abbas commented, "If it pleases
you to know how ignorant the Arabs used to be, then recite the Ayat beyond Ayah
one hundred and thirty in Surat Al-An`am,
﴿قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُواْ
أَوْلَـدَهُمْ سَفَهاً بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَحَرَّمُواْ مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ افْتِرَآءً
عَلَى اللَّهِ قَدْ ضَلُّواْ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهْتَدِينَ ﴾
(Indeed lost are they who have killed their children, foolishly, without knowledge,
and ﴿they﴾ have forbidden that which Allah has provided for them, inventing a lie
against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and were not guided.)'' Al-Bukhari also
recorded this in the section of his Sahih on the virtues of the Quraysh.
﴿وَهُوَ الَّذِى أَنشَأَ
جَنَّـتٍ مَّعْرُوشَـتٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَـتٍ وَالنَّخْلَ وَالزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفًا
أُكُلُهُ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَـبِهاً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَـبِهٍ كُلُواْ
مِن ثَمَرِهِ إِذَآ أَثْمَرَ وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ وَلاَ تُسْرِفُواْ
إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ - وَمِنَ الأَنْعَـمِ حَمُولَةً وَفَرْشًا كُلُواْ
مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَتِ الشَّيْطَـنِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ
عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴾
(141. And it is He Who produces gardens Ma`rushat and not Ma`rushat, and date palms,
and crops of different shape and taste, and olives, and pomegranates, similar, and
different. Eat of their fruit when they ripen, but pay the due thereof on the day
of their harvest, and waste not by extravagance. Verily, He likes not the wasteful.)
(142. And of the cattle (are some) for burden and (some smaller) for Farsh. Eat
of what Allah has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Shaytan. Surely,
he is to you an open enemy.)
