واصبح الذين تمنوا مكانه بالامس يقولون ويكان الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء من عباده ويقدر لولا ان من الله علينا لخسف بنا ويكانه لا يفلح الكافرون

And those who had envied His position the day before Began to say on the morrow: "Ah! It is indeed God Who enlarges the provision Or restricts it, to any Of His servants He pleases! Had it not been that God Was gracious to us, He Could have caused the earth To swallow us up! Ah! Those who reject God Will assuredly never prosper."
