Sura 25
Aya 8
8
أَو يُلقىٰ إِلَيهِ كَنزٌ أَو تَكونُ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ يَأكُلُ مِنها ۚ وَقالَ الظّالِمونَ إِن تَتَّبِعونَ إِلّا رَجُلًا مَسحورًا

Muhammad Asad

Or: "[Why has not] a treasure been granted to him [by God]?" Or: "He should [at least] have a [bountiful] garden, so that he could eat thereof [without effort]!"1 And so these evildoers say [unto one another], "If you were to follow [Muhammad, you would follow] but a man bewitched!"
  • A sarcastic allusion to the "gardens of paradise" of which the Qur'an so often speaks. (Cf.13:38 and the corresponding notes 74 and 75; also 5:75 and 21:7-8.)
