Masalu maa yunfiqoona fee haazihil hayaatid dunyaa kamasali reehin feehaa sirrun as aabat harsa qawmin zalamooo anfusahum fa ahlakath; wa maa zalamahumul laahu wa laakin anfusahum yazlimoon

- Perumpamaan harta yang mereka nafkahkan di dalam kehidupan dunia ini, adalah seperti perumpamaan angin yang mengandung hawa yang sangat dingin, yang menimpa tanaman kaum yang menganiaya diri sendiri, lalu angin itu merusaknya. Allah tidak menganiaya mereka, akan tetapi merekalah yang menganiaya diri mereka sendiri.
