Sura 68
Aya 14
14
أَن كانَ ذا مالٍ وَبَنينَ

Yusuf Ali

Because1 he possesses wealth and (numerous) sons.
  • Because may connect with heed not in verse 10, or with violent and cruel in verse 13. In the former case, we construe: 'Pay no attention to despicable men of the character described, simply because they happen to have wealth or influence, or much backing in manpower'. In the latter case, we construe: the fellow is violent and cruel, because he is puffed up with his wealth or riches or backing in manpower'. In the eyes of God such a man is in any case branded and marked out as a sinner.
