• وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا

  And whoever does that will incur sins; the punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide in it abased, except for whoever repented and believed and did a righteous deed.

  أَثَامًا — sins. An indefinite noun 'sin/penalty' (no al- 'the'), the object of 'will meet' in the accusative (object) form. Its indefinite shape leaves it general - he will incur 'a reckoning'. As the thing met, it is what the verb acts upon.
