Az-Zalzalah 99:4–6
The earth tells its news
يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا ٤ بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا ٥ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًۭا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ ٦
The meaning, simply
On that Day the earth will tell what was done on it, good or bad, because Allah commanded it to. And people will go out in separate groups to be shown their deeds.
