وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

EnglishSaheeh International
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

இன்னும், அவர்களில் சில பிரிவினர் இன்பமனுபவிக்க நாம் கொடுத்திருக்கும் (வாழ்க்கை வசதிகளின்) பக்கம் உமது கண்களை நீட்டாதீர்; (இவையெல்லாம்) அவர்களைச் சோதிப்பதற்காகவே நாம் கொடுத்துள்ள உலக வாழ்க்கையின் அலங்காரங்களாகும். உமது இறைவன் (மறுமையில் உமக்கு) வழங்கவிருப்பது சிறந்ததும் நிலையானதும் ஆகும்.

තවද අපි ඔවුන් එහි පරීක්ෂා කරනු පිණිස මෙලොව ජීවිතයේ චමත්කාරයක් ලෙස ඔවුන් අතරින් පිරිසකට කවර දෙයක් අපි භුක්ති විඳීම සඳහා ලබා දුන්නේ ද ඒ වෙත නුඹගේ නෙත් යොමු නො කරනු. තවද නුඹගේ පරමාධිපතිගේ පෝෂණය ශ්‍රේෂ්ඨ ය. තවද වඩාත් ස්ථායී ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور اپنی نگاہیں ہرگز ان چیزوں کی طرف نہ دوڑانا جو ہم نے ان میں سے مختلف لوگوں کو آرائش دنیا کی دے رکھی ہیں تاکہ انہیں اس میں آزما لیں تیرے رب کا دیا ہوا ہی (بہت) بہتر اور باقی رہنے واﻻ ہے.

またわれが,かれらのある部類の者に与えたこの世の生活の栄華に,あなたの目を見張ってはならない。われは,それによってかれらを試みた。あなたの主の賜物こそ至上でまた永続する。

你不要觊觎我所用以供给他们中各等人享受的,那是今世生活的浮华,我用来考验他们;你的主的给养,是更好的,是更久的。

Tafsir of 20:131

Do not look at the Enjoyment of the Wealthy, be patient in the worship of Allah Allah, the Exalted, says to His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, "Do not look at what these people of luxury and their likes and peers have of nice comforts.

Mujahid said, أَزْوَجاً مِّنْهُمْ (various groups of them,) "This means the wealthy people." This means, "Verily, We have given you (O Muhammad) better than that which We have given them." This is just as Allah says in another Ayah, وَلَقَدْ ءاتَيْنَكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْءَانَ الْعَظِيمَ لاَ تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ (And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven repeatedly recited verses, and the Grand Qur'an. Look not with your eyes ambitiously.) 15:87-88 Likewise, that which Allah has stored for His Messenger in the Hereafter is something extremely great. It is an unlimited reward that cannot be described.…
