The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ...Shape1

34:39 Say: "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of His servants as He pleases:

C3848. Cf. 34:36 above, and n. 3843.

... لَهُ وَمَا أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ ...

and nothing do ye spend in the least (in his cause) but He replaces it:

... وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ ﴿٣٩﴾

for He is the Best of those Who grant Sustenance.



Asad’s Version:


34:39 Say: "Behold, my Sustainer grants abundant sustenance, or gives it in scant measure, unto whomever He wills of His servants; 48 and whatever it be that you spend on others, He [always] replaces it: 49 for He is the best of providers." [kharur Razikkin]
