3:117 mathalu maa yunfiquuna fiy haadhihil Hayaatid dunyaa ka mathali riyHin fiyhaa Sir-run aSaabat Hartha qawmin Zalamuu anfusahum fa ahlakat'h* wa maa Zalamahumul-laahu walaakin anfusahum yaZlimuun
Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
The example of what they spend in this worldly life is similar to the freezing cold wind which struck the fields of a nation who wronged themselves, and destroyed it completely; and Allah did not oppress them, but it is they who wronged themselves.
Yusuf Ali:
What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.
Pickthal:
The likeness of that which they spend in this life of the world is as the likeness of a biting, icy wind which smiteth the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves, and devastateth it. Allah wronged them not, but they do wrong themselves.
