Al-Fajr 89:24–26
If only I had sent ahead for my life
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ٢٤ فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ٢٥ وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ٢٦
The meaning, simply
He will say, 'If only I had sent ahead good deeds for my real life!' On that Day no one punishes like His punishment, and no one binds like His binding.
