In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
34. Never did We send a Warner to a population but the wealthy ones among them said, "We believe not in that with which you have been sent."
35. They said,"We have more in wealth and in sons, and we cannot be punished."
36. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom God pleases, but most men understand not."
37. It is not your wealth nor your sons that will bring you nearer to Us in degree, but only those who believe and work righteousness. These are the ones for whom there is a multiplied Reward for their deeds, while secure they are in dwellings on high.
38. Those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, will be given over into Punishment.
39. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of God's servants as God pleases, and nothing do you spend in the least but God replaces it, for God is the Best of those who grant Sustenance."
40. One Day God will gather them all together, and say to the angels, "Was it you that these men used to worship?"
