Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.

Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah willeth. If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith."

Covetous over you. Then when fear comes, thou wilt see them looking to thee, their eyes revolving, like (those of) one over whom hovers death: but when the fear is past, they will smite you with sharp tongues, covetous of goods. Such men have no faith, and so Allah has made their deeds of none effect: and that is easy for Allah.

And he said, "Truly do I love the love of good, with a view to the glory of my Lord,"- until (the sun) was hidden in the veil (of night):

Man does not weary of asking for good (things), but if ill touches him, he gives up all hope (and) is lost in despair.

And violent is he in his love of wealth.

你们中当有一部分人，导人于至善，并劝善戒恶；这等人，确是成功的。

你说：“除真主所意欲的外，我不能掌握自己的祸福。假若我能知幽玄，我必多谋福利，不遭灾殃了。我只是一个警告者和对信道的民众的报喜者。”

他们对你们是吝啬的。当恐怖降临的时候，你见他们望着你，他们的眼睛转动得象昏死的人一样；当恐怖消失的时候，他们却以尖利的口舌痛骂你们，而他们对钱财是吝啬的。这等人，没有信道，故真主揭示他们的行为的虚伪，这对于真主是容易的。

他说：“我的确为记忆我的主而喜好马队，直到它们被帷幕遮住了。”

人祈福不厌，一遭祸患就灰心绝望。

他对于财产确是酷好的。
