Translation

Never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allah at all. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Their wealth and their offspring will not benefit them in the slightest. They are the people of the hellfire who will enter it and reside in it for ever, the punishment never stopping on them.
