﴿ لِيَمِيزَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِ وَيَجْعَلَ ٱلْخَبِيثَ بَعْضَهُۥ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ فَيَرْكُمَهُۥ جَمِيعًۭا فَيَجْعَلَهُۥ فِى جَهَنَّمَ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ ﴾
“so that God might separate the bad from the good, and join the bad with one another, and link them all together [within His condemnation], and then place them in hell. They, they are the lost!”
(That Allah may separate the wicked from the good) the disbeliever from the believer, the hypocrite from the sincere and the corrupt from the righteous. (The wicked will He place piece upon piece) gather together, (and heap them all together) i.e. the wicked, (and consign them) cast (unto hell. Such verily are the losers) in that they be punished.
