Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 96

Al-Baqarah · Ayah 96 · Juz 1 · Page 15

وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمۡ أَحۡرَصَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَوٰةٖ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمۡ لَوۡ يُعَمَّرُ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحۡزِحِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٦

Walatajidannahum aḥraṣan-nāsi ʿalā ḥayātiw wa minal-ladhīna ashrakū, yawaddu aḥaduhum law yuʿammaru alfa sanatiw wa mā huwa bimuzaḥziḥihī minal-ʿadhābi ay yuʿammar, wallāhu baṣīrum bimā yaʿmalūn.

And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allāh. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.
