"إنهم كانوا لا يرجون حساباً"، لا يخافون أن يحاسبوا، والمعنى: أنهم كانوا لا يؤمنون بالبعث ولا بأنهم محاسبون.
Indeed, in the world, they did not fear the Allah taking them to account in the afterlife, because they did not bring faith in the resurrection. So if they had feared the resurrection, they would have brought faith in Allah and performed good deeds.
