Al-Layl 92:8–11
What use is his wealth?
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ٨ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ٩ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ١٠ وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ١١
The meaning, simply
But the one who is stingy with his wealth, thinks he does not need his Lord and denies the best reward, his way leads to misery. And the wealth he held back will not help him when he falls into the Fire.
