The chapter begins with a rebuke to the one asked mockingly to hasten the punishment of retribution for covering up the truth. It follows with a description of the day of judgement for those who lacked humanity and hoarded wealth refusing to believe in accountability and then the three verses (19-21) which describe the hasty and grieving nature of the human being when afflicted with difficulty and his stinginess when good comes his way.
The next section describes the qualities of the righteous who will be in Janna and have been able to overcome their anxiousness. The chapter ends with the disgrace of those who reject these qualities and accost the Prophet about Divine revelation.
