فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فِي زِينَتِهِۦۖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا يَٰلَيۡتَ لَنَا مِثۡلَ مَآ أُوتِيَ قَٰرُونُ إِنَّهُۥ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٖ

(28:79) Once Korah went forth among his people in full glitter. Those seeking
the life of this world said: "Would that we had the like of what Korah has!
He truly has a great fortune."


وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ وَيۡلَكُمۡ ثَوَابُ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ لِّمَنۡ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗاۚ وَلَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ

(28:80) But those endowed with true knowledge said: "Woe to you. The reward
of Allah is best for those who believe and act righteously. But none except
those who are patient shall attain to this."0


فَخَسَفۡنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٖ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنتَصِرِينَ

(28:81) At last We caused the earth to swallow him and his house. Thereafter
there was no group of people that could come to his aid against Allah; nor was
he able to come to his own aid.


وَأَصۡبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوۡاْ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلۡأَمۡسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيۡكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقۡدِرُۖ لَوۡلَآ أَن مَّنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَاۖ وَيۡكَأَنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

(28:82) And those who had envied his position the day before began to say
on the morrow: "Alas, we had forgotten that it is Allah Who increases the provision
of those of His servants whom He will and grants in sparing measure to those
whom He will.1 But for Allah's favour upon us, He could have made
us to be swallowed too. Alas, we had forgotten that the unbelievers do not prosper."2
