ولتجدنهم احرص الناس على حياة ومن الذين اشركوا يود احدهم لو يعمر الف سنة وما هو بمزحزحه من العذاب ان يعمر والله بصير بما يعملون

Thou wilt indeed find them, Of all people, most greedy Of life,—even more Than the idolaters: Each one of them wishes He could be given a life Of a thousand years: But the grant of such life Will not save him From (due) punishment. For God sees well All that they do.
