The companions of the right
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ ٣٨ إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ ٣٩ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٤٠ عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٤١ مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ ٤٢
The meaning, simply
Every soul is held by what it has earned, except the companions of the right; in gardens they will ask one another about the criminals: what put you into Saqar?
