Al-Muddaththir 74:28
The Cloaked One · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 576
It Spares Not, Nor Leaves
لَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ ٢٨
It leaveth naught; it spareth naught.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
It spares not, nor does it leave.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, it is a fire that consumes whatever it seizes without leaving a trace, then still does not let go; the one recreated meets punishment again.
Reflect
Thinking that the fire never lets go, let go of sin today.
