Saheeh International

And if those who did wrong had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby from the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection. And there will appear to them from Allah that which they had not taken into account.

Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)

وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا

And those who did wrong, (means, the idolators).

مَا فِي الاْاَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ

if they had all that is in earth and therewith as much again,

لَاافْتَدَوْا بِهِ مِن سُوءِ الْعَذَابِ

they verily, would offer it to ransom themselves therewith from the evil torment;

means, that which Allah has decreed for them on the Day of Resurrection. But the ransom will not be accepted from them, even if it were to be an earth-full of gold as He mentioned elsewhere (3:91).

يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

on the Day of Resurrection,

Then Allah says:

وَبَدَا لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَحْتَسِبُونَ

and there will become apparent to them from Allah what they had not been reckoning.

which means, when they come to realize what Allah's punishment for them will be, which they had never before imagined
