مَثَلُ مَا يُنفِقُونَ فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيحٍ فِيهَا صِرٌّ أَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْمٍ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَأَهْلَكَتْهُ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِنْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ۝١١٧

The example of what they spend in this worldly life is like that of a wind containing frost which strikes the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves [i.e., sinned] and destroys it. And Allāh has not wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

Quran 3:117 in other translations

Hilali and Khan

The likeness of what they spend in this world is the likeness of a wind which is extremely cold; it struck the harvest of a people who did wrong against themselves and destroyed it, (i.e. the good deed of a person is only accepted if he is a monotheist and believes in all the Prophets of Allâh, including the Christ عليه السلام and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). Allâh wronged them not, but they wronged themselves.

Marmaduke Pickthall

The likeness of that which they spend in this life of the world is as the likeness of a biting, icy wind which smiteth the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves, and devastateth it. Allah wronged them not, but they do wrong themselves

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves

Muhammad Junagarhi

یہ کفار جو خرچ اخراجات کریں اس کی مثال یہ ہے کہ ایک تند ہوا چلی جس سے پاﻻ تھا جو ﻇالموں کی کھیتی پر پڑا اور اسے تہس نہس کر دیا ۔ اللہ تعالیٰ نے ان پر ﻇلم نہیں کیا بلکہ وه خود اپنی جانوں پر ﻇلم کرتے تھے.

Perumpamaan harta yang mereka infakkan di dalam kehidupan dunia ini, ibarat angin yang mengandung hawa yang sangat dingin, yang menimpa tanaman (milik) suatu kaum yang menzalimi diri sendiri, lalu angin itu merusaknya. Allah tidak menzalimi mereka, tetapi mereka yang menzalimi diri sendiri.

Bengali · Abu Bakr Zakaria

এ পার্থিব জীবনে যা তারা ব্যয় করে তার দৃষ্টান্ত হিমশীতল বায়ূ, যা আঘাত করে ঐ জাতির শস্যক্ষেতে যারা নিজেদের উপর যুলুম করেছে; অতঃপর তা ধ্বংস করে দেয়। আর আল্লাহ তাদের প্রতি কোনো যুলুম করেননি, তারাই নিজেদের প্রতি যুলুম করে।
