Surat Al-Baqara · The Cow

Qur'an 2:96

وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَوٰةٍ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ ۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ

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.

Al-Baqara 2:96 · Saheeh International

Svenska · Bernström

Säkert finner du att de hänger fast vid livet mer envist än någon annan, ja, mer än de som sätter medhjälpare vid Guds sida. Var och en av dem skulle vilja leva i tusen år, men hur långt hans liv än blir, undgår han inte straffet - Gud ser vad de gör.
