﴿ وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَأَوْلَٰدُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ ﴾
“And let not their worldly goods and [the happiness which they may derive from] their children excite thy admiration: God but wants to chastise them by these means in [the life of] this world, and [to cause] their souls to depart while they are [still] denying the truth.”
(Let not their wealth) the abundance of their wealth (nor their children) nor the abundance of their children (please thee! Allah purposeth only to punish them thereby in the world) and in the Hereafter, (and that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers) and that they shall die while they are unbelievers.
