The passage discusses what angels say to people when taking their souls at the time of death. The angels ask those who had wronged themselves by staying with disbelievers despite emigration being obligatory what condition they were in. They reply that they were weak and oppressed on Earth. The angels then question why they did not emigrate to more spacious lands if their own land was insufficient, indicating that such people will find their destination in Hell.

Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed
among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what
(condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on the earth." They (angels) say: "Was
not the earth of Allâh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell
- What an evil destination!
