Its root in the classical dictionaries
قوله تعالى: ﴿لا تجزي نفس عن نفس شيئا﴾ [البقرة: 48] أي لا تغني ولا تقضي ولا تنوب، كله بمعنى. وفي الحديث: "يجزيك ولا يجزي أحدا" "ويجزيك من هذا الأمر الأقل أن تقضي وتنوب".
الجيم والزاء والياء: قيام الشيء مقام غيره ومكافأته إياه. يقال جزيت فلانا أجزيه جزاء، وجازيته مجازاة. وهذا رجل جازيك من رجل،
And on the Day that
The Unbelievers will be
Placed before the Fire,
(It will be said to them):
"Ye received your good things
In the life of the world,
And ye took your pleasure
Out of them: but to-day
Shall ye be recompensed
With a Penalty of humiliation:
For that ye were arrogant
On earth without just cause,
And that ye (ever) transgressed."
"Everything will it destroy
By the command of its Lord!"
Then by the morning they—
Nothing was to be seen
But (the ruins of) their houses!
Thus do We recompense
Those given to sin!
Yea, to God belongs all
That is in the heavens
And on earth: so that
He rewards those who do
Evil, according to their deeds,
And He rewards those who
Do good, with what is best.
