It has never happened that We sent a warner to a habitation and its people of means did not say, "We disbelieve the message you have brought."54 They always said this: "We have more wealth and children than you, and we shall never be punished."55 O Prophet, say to them, "My Lord gives abundantly to whom He wills and sparingly to whom He wills, but most people do not realize this."56 It is not your wealth and your children, which bring you nearer to Us, save him who believes and does good works.57 These are the ones who will have a double reward for their deeds, and they will live in peace in high mansions.58 As for those who strive hard in order to frustrate Our Revelations, they shall be severely punished. O Prophet, say to them, "My Lord gives abundantly to whomever of His servants He wills and sparingly to whom He wills.59 Whatever you spend, He replenishes it by other provisions: He is the best of Providers."60 And the Day when He will gather all mankind together, He will ask the angels, "Did they really worship you?"61 They will reply, "Glory be to Thee: our connection is with Thee, not with them.62 They, in fact, worshiped the jinns, not us. It was in them that most of them believed."63 (At that time We shall say:) "Today you can neither help nor harm one another." And to the wrongdoers We shall say, Now taste the torment of Hell which you used to deny." When Our clear Revelations are recited to these people, they say, "This person only wants to turn you away from those deities whom your forefathers have been worshiping." And they say, "This (Qur'an) is only a forged falsehood." When the Truth came before these disbelievers, they said, "This is plain magic," whereas We had neither given them a book before that they might study it, nor sent to them any warner before you.64 Those who have gone before them denied likewise. These people have not attained even a tenth of what We had given them. But when they treated My Messengers as liars, see how severe was My punishment!65
