لَّوْ
أَنتُمْ
تَمْلِكُونَ
خَزَائِنَ
رَحْمَةِ
رَبِّي
إِذًا
لَّأَمْسَكْتُمْ
خَشْيَةَ
الْإِنفَاقِ
وَكَانَ
الْإِنسَانُ
قَتُورًا

Say, ‘Even if you possessed the treasuries of my Lord’s mercy, you would withhold them for the fear of being spent, and man is very niggardly.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Say: "If ye had control of the Treasures of the Mercy of my Lord, behold, ye would keep them back, for fear of spending them: for man is (every) niggardly!"
