The mocker
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَيْلٌۭ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍۢ لُّمَزَةٍ ١ ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًۭا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ ٢ يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ ٣
The meaning, simply
Ruin to everyone who finds fault with people and mocks them with words and gestures, whose only care is collecting money and counting it, thinking his money will keep him alive and free from reckoning.
