Would anyone of you wish that he should have a green garden of palm trees and vines, watered by canals and laden with all sorts of fruit and then it should be consumed by a fiery whirlwind at the very time when he himself has grown very old and his small children are too feeble to earn anything? Thus Allah makes His revelations clear and plain to you that you may ponder over them.
あなたがたの中，ナツメヤシやブドウの園を持ち，川が下を流れ，そこに凡ての果実があっても，自分は既に年老い，その子はまだ幼弱でおまけに旋風が猛火を伴ってきて，（全部）焼き払うようなことを望む者があろうか。このようにアッラーは，あなたがたに印を説き明かされる。恐らくあなたがたは反省するであろう。
