Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and leads it through springs in the earth? Then He causes to grow, therewith, produce of various colours: then it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then He makes it dry up and crumble away. Truly, in this, is a Message of remembrance to men of understanding.

Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,

Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

At length, when they came to a (lowly) valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O ye ants, get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it."

你不知道吗？真主从云中降下雨水，然后使它渗入地里，成为泉源；然后，借它生出各种庄稼，然后禾苗凋零，你看它变成黄的，然后他使它变成碎片。在那里面，对于有理智者，的确有一种教诲。

假若我意欲，我必使它凋零，而你们变成诧异者，

你们应当知道，今世的生活，只是游戏、娱乐、点缀、矜夸，以财产和子孙的富庶相争胜；譬如时雨，使田苗滋长，农夫见了非常高兴，嗣后，田苗枯槁，你看它变成黄色的，继而零落。在后世，有严厉的刑罚，也有从真主发出的赦宥和喜悦；今世生活，只是欺骗人的享受。

绝不然,他必定要被投在毁灭坑中。

你怎能知道毁灭坑是什麽？

等到他们来到蚁谷的时候，一个母蚁说：“蚂蚁们啊！快进自己的住处去，以免被素莱曼和他的大军不知不觉地践踏。”
