وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَى رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ
Waamma allatheena fee quloobihim maradun fazadathum rijsan ila rijsihim wamatoo wahum kafiroona

The Aya says:
And as for those in whose heart there is affliction, then it added trouble to their troubles and they died while rejecting.

My personal note:
The Aya contrasts the people whose hearts are afflicted with arrogance and pride mostly that the Qur’an may add to their rejection and denial rather than help. This is in contrast to the one who has his/ her heart in faithand whose faith grows as he or she hears and learns the Qur’an

Translation of the transliterated words:

Fee: in

Ila: to/ towards
Rijsihim: their trouble
Note: the root is R-J-S and it is anything that is dirty and contains harm. Conceptually, it is then used for sinful acts, harmful acts or any form of painful punishment and so on. RIJSI in this context means unclean or trouble of. HIM means them

Wamatoo: and they died
Note: WA here is for continuation of the sentence or initiation of a new sentence. MATOO is derived from the root M-W-T and it means death or the opposite of life or the lack of voluntary movement or vigor. MATOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of dying happened by the subject (third person plural).

Wahum: while they
Kafiroona: in a state of rejection/ rejecting

Note: KAFIROON is derived from the root K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it. This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying. KAFIROONA means rejecting or in a state of rejection.
