Transliteration:( Lan tughniya 'anhum amwaaluhum wa laaa awladuhum minal laahi shai'aa; ulaaa 'ika As haabun Naari hum feehaa khaalidoon )
“Neither their wealth nor their children shall help [60] them in any way against Allah. They are the inmates of the fire, wherein they shall remain forever [61].”
This means that the wealth and children of the hypocrites will not be able to save them from Divine punishment—
even though it was for their sake that they adopted hypocrisy.
This also tells us that believers will benefit from their wealth and children,
because such deprivation is the punishment of the disbelievers.
Through the intercession of pious children, Allah Almighty will forgive their sinful parents—
a mercy not granted to hypocrites.
This confirms that hypocrites will face eternal punishment in Hell,
because in reality, they are nothing but disbelievers in disguise.
