Al ladhii jama'a maalan wa 'ad dadah

Meaning:

2. Who has gathered
wealth and counted it.

Tafsir

﴿ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻯ ﺟَﻤَﻊَ ﻣَﺎﻻً ﻭَﻋَﺪَّﺩَﻩُ ﴾
(Who has gathered wealth and counted it.) meaning, he gathers it piling some of it on top of the rest and he counts it up.

This is similar to Allah's saying,
﴿ﻭَﺟَﻤَﻊَ ﻓَﺄَﻭْﻋَﻰ ﴾
(And collect (wealth) and hide it.) (70:18)

This was said by
As-Suddi and Ibn Jarir.

Muhammad bin Ka`b said
concerning Allah's statement,
﴿ﺟَﻤَﻊَ ﻣَﺎﻻً ﻭَﻋَﺪَّﺩَﻩُ﴾
(gathered wealth and counted it.) "His wealth occupies his time in the day, going from this to that. Then when the night
comes he sleeps like a rotting corpse.''

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
