11:99

وَأُتْبِعُوا۟ فِى هَـٰذِهِۦ لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ بِئْسَ ٱلرِّفْدُ ٱلْمَرْفُودُ

wa-ut'biʿū fī hādhihi laʿnatan wayawma l-qiyāmati bi'sa l-rif'du l-marfūdu

And they were followed in this [world] with a curse and on the Day of Resurrection. And wretched is the gift which is given.

— Saheeh International

They were pursued by God’s rejection in this life and will be on the Day of Resurrection, too. What a foul gift to be given!

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

They were pursued by a curse in this (deceiving life of this world) and (so they will be pursued by a curse) on the Day of Resurrection. Evil indeed is the gift gifted [i.e. the curse (in this world) pursued by another curse (in the Hereafter)].

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
