حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا مَا جَآءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ وَجُلُودُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ Qur’an Fussilat (41:20)
H att a i tha m a j a ooh a shahida AAalayhim samAAuhum waab sa ruhum wajulooduhum bim a k a noo yaAAmaloon a
till, when they come close to it, their hearing and their sight and their [very] skins will bear witness against them, speaking of what they were doing [on earth].

Finally when they reach there, their ears, their eyes, and their skins will testify to their misdeeds.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

When they reach it, their ears, eyes, and skin will testify against what they used to do.1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 It is reported in Ibn Kathîr’s commentary that, on the Day of Judgment, the wicked will deny the evil deeds in their records—as a desperate attempt to escape the horrible punishment in Hell. They will be asked if they accept Allah, the angels, or even their own families and neighbours as witnesses, but they will refuse. So Allah will make their organs testify against them.

Till, when they reach it, their ears and their eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they used to do.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

At length when they reach the (Fire) their hearing their sight and their skins will bear witness against them as to (all) their deeds. 4487
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

All the members of their bodies and the faculties of their minds, which they misused, will bear witness against them. Similarly, in xxxvi. 65, their hands and their feet bear witness against them. The "skin" not only includes the sense of touch (which is so often misused in sex), but also the sense of taste and the sense of smell, which are specialised forms of the organ of touch. All the sensory organs, and all their intellectual and emotional counterparts advance us by their use and pull us down by their misuse. They become tell-tale witnesses against us if abused.
