Saba Verse 35

Adding, “We are far superior ˹to the believers˺ in wealth and children, and we will never be punished.”

They said, “We have greater wealth and more children, and we will not be punished”.

They also said, 'We are more abundant in wealth and children, and we shall not be chastised.'

They would say, ‘We have greater wealth and more children than you, and we shall not be punished.’

And they said: we are more numerous in riches and children, and we are not going to be tormented.

They said; "We have more in wealth and in sons, and we cannot be punished."

They always said: “We have more wealth and children than you have, and we shall not be chastised.”

And (further): "We have far more wealth and children (than you), and we are not the ones to be punished."

And they said, “We are greater in wealth and children; we will not be punished!”

They say, ‘We have greater wealth and more children, and we will not be punished!’

And they said: "We are more abundant (than you) in wealth and children and so we are not (the ones) to be punished (as you tell us to happen in the Hereafter)."

And they (also) say, `We are better off in respect of wealth and children (as compared with others) and we are not at all going to be made to suffer.´

And they said: "We (have) more properties/possessions/wealths and children, and we are not with being tortured."

And they said, “We are greater in wealth and children; we will not be punished!”

And they say, `We possess more wealth and children, than those who are believers, and we shall not be chastised'.

And they say;"We are more in wealth and in children, and we are not going to be punished."

meaning, they were proud of their great wealth and great numbers of children, and they believed that this was a sign that Allah loved them and cared for them, and that if He gave them this in this world, He would not punish them in the Hereafter. This was too far-fetched.

Allah says;

أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُمْ بِهِ مِن مَّالٍ وَبَنِينَ

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِى الْخَيْرَتِ بَل لاَّ يَشْعُرُونَ

Do they think that in wealth and children with which We enlarge them We hasten unto them with good things.

Nay, but they perceive not. (23;55-56)

فَلَ تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَلُهُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَـدُهُمْ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِي الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَـفِرُونَ

So, let not their wealth nor their children amaze you; in reality Allah's plan is to punish them with these things in the life of this world, and that their souls shall depart while they are disbelievers. (9;55)

and,

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيداً

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالاً مَّمْدُوداً

وَبَنِينَ شُهُوداً

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيداً

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ

كَلَّ إِنَّهُ كان لاٌّيَـتِنَا عَنِيداً

سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُوداً

Leave Me Alone (to deal) with whom I created lonely. And then granted him resources in abundance. And children to be by his side. And made life smooth and comfortable for him. After all that he desires that I should give more.

Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat. I shall oblige him to face a severe torment! (74;11-17)

And Allah has told us about the story of the owner of those two gardens, that he had wealth and crops and children, but that could not help him at all when all of that was taken from him in this world, before he reached the Hereafter.
