Surah Takathur ayat 3 Tafsir Quran 102:3

﴿كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ التكاثر: 3]

102:3 No! You are going to know.

No indeed! — a disavowal. You will come to know!

There and then will you come to know all that is in conformity with truth and verity

Which was revealed in Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Result of Loving the World and Heedlessness of the Hereafter Allah says that all are preoccupied by love of the world, its delights and its adornments, and this distracts you from seeking the Hereafter and desiring it.
This delays you until death comes to you and you visit the graves, thus becoming its inhabitants.
In Sahih Al-Bukhari, it is recorded in the Book of Ar-Riqaq ( Narrations that soften the Heart ) from Anas bin Malik, who reported that Ubayy bin Ka`b said, "We used to think that this was a part of the Qur'an until the Ayah was revealed which says; أَلْهَـكُمُ التَّكَّاثُرُ ( The mutual increase diverts you. )" He was referring to the Hadith in which the Prophet said,
«لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَب»
( If the Son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would desire another like it... ) Imam Ahmad recorded from `Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir that he said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was saying, أَلْهَـكُمُ التَّكَّاثُرُ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ: مَالِي مَالِي، وَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَـيْتَ، أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ؟» ( (The mutual increase diverts you. )" He was referring to the Hadith in which the Prophet said,
«لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَب»
( If the Son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would desire another like it... ) Imam Ahmad recorded from `Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir that he said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was saying, أَلْهَـكُمُ التَّكَّاثُرُ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ: مَالِي مَالِي، وَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَـيْتَ، أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ؟» ( (The mutual increase diverts you. )( The Son of Adam says, "My wealth, my wealth." But do you get anything (of benefit ) from your wealth except for that which you ate and you finished it, or that which you clothed yourself with and you wore it out, or that which you gave as charity and you have spent it)" Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith.
Muslim recorded in his Sahih from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: مَالِي مَالِي، وَإِنَّمَا لَهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ ثَلَاثٌ: مَا أَكَلَ فَأَفْنَى، أَوْ لَبِسَ فَأَبْلَى، أَوْ تَصَدَّقَ فَأَمْضَى، وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَذَاهِبٌ وَتَارِكُهُ لِلنَّاس»
( The servant says "My wealth, my wealth." Yet he only gets three (benefits ) from his wealth: that which he eats and finishes, that which he eats and finishes, that which he wears until it is worn out, or that which he gives in charity and it is spent.
Everything else other than that will go away and leave him for the people.) Muslim was alone in recording this Hadith.
Al-Bukhari recorded from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَى مَعَهُ وَاحِدٌ: يَتْبَعُهُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُه»
( Three things follow the deceased person, and two of them return while one remains behind with him.
The things which follow him are his family, his wealth and his deeds.
His family and his wealth return while his deeds remain. ) This Hadith has also been recorded by Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i.
Imam Ahmad recorded from Anas that the Prophet said,
«يَهْرَمُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَيَبْقَى مِنْهُ اثْنَتَانِ: الْحِرْصُ وَالْأَمَل»
( The Son of Adam becomes old with senility, but yet two things remain with him: greed and hope. ) Both of them ( Al-Bukhari and Muslim ) recorded this Hadith in the Two Sahihs.

(102:3) Nay, you will soon come to know; *3

No! You are going to know. meaning

*3) That is, " You are under the delusion that the abundance of the worldly goods and surpassing others in it, is real progress and success, whereas the opposite is the case.
Soon you will know its evil end and you will realize that it was a stupendous error in which you remained involved throughout your Iife.
"Soon" may mean the Hereafter, for, for the Being Whose sight comprehends alI ages, from eternity to eternity, a few thousand years or a few hundred thousand years can only be a short span of the eternal time.
But it can also mean death, for death is not very far away from any man, and soon after death man will come to know whether the occupations which engaged him throughout life were a means of good fortune and success for him, or of misfortune and failure.
