بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَنَّا نَأۡتِي ٱلۡأَرۡضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنۡ أَطۡرَافِهَآۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?
Bal matta’naa haa'ulaa'i wa'aabaa'ahum hattaa taala ’alayhimu al’umuru 'afalaa yarawna 'annaa na'tii al'arda nanqusuhaa min 'atraafihaa 'afahumu algaalibuuna
Nay but We provided comforts for these and their fathers in the way of the graces which We bestowed on them until life lasted long for them so that they were deluded by such longevity. Do they not see how We visit the land how We target their land diminishing it at its edges? by granting the Prophet victory through conquest. Are they the ones who will prevail? No it is rather the Prophet and his Companions who will do so.
