P: And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday
crying: Ah, welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of
His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not been
gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah,
welladay! the disbelievers never prosper.

S: And those who yearned for his place only the day before began to say:
Ah! (know) that Allah amplifies and straitens the means of subsistence
for whom He pleases of His servants; had not Allah been gracious to us,
He would most surely have abased us; ah! (know) that the ungrateful are
never successful.

evil, those who do evil shall not be rewarded (for) aught except what
they did.
