Surah 69. Al-Haqqah, Ayah 34

Lit., "did not urge", i.e., himself.

Cf. cvii. 3; lxxxix, 18. The practical result of their rebellion against the God of Mercy was that their sympathies dried up. Not only did they not help or feed those in need, but they hindered others from doing so. And they have neither friend nor sympathy (food) in the Hereafter.
