70. Mearixh · verses 18–25

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ

WajamaAAa faawAAa

And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!

۞ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

Inna alinsana khuliqa halooAAan

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا

Waitha massahu alkhayru manooAAan

And niggardly when good reaches him;-

إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ

Illa almusalleena

Not so those devoted to Prayer;-

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ

Allatheena hum AAala salatihim daimoona

Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

Waallatheena fee amwalihim haqqun maAAloomun

And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

Lilssaili waalmahroomi

For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);
