for those who accumulate gold and silver and do not spend it in the way
of Allah, give them the ‘good’ news of a painful punishment, on the day

foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be branded with it (then
it will be said to such people): This is what you had accumulated for
yourselves. So taste what you have been accumulating”. (At-Taubah: 34)
