Surah Qasas ayat 79 Tafsir Quran 28:79

﴿فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فِي زِينَتِهِ ۖ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا يَا لَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ قَارُونُ إِنَّهُ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ﴾
[ القصص: 79]

28:79 So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qarun. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."

So he Korah emerged before his people in his finery with his large retinue all of them in procession dressed in gold and silk garments and mounted on adorned horses and mules. Those who desired the life of this world said ‘O yā is for drawing attention would that we had the like of what Korah has been given this world. Truly he enjoys great fortune’ abundant fortune in it.

And so he came out before his people in a splendid procession conducting himself pompously, and there exclaimed those who were absorbed m the vanities of this wicked world: we wish, they said, we were given the like of the riches Qarun was made to possess. He is indeed fortunate

How Qarun went forth in His Finery, and His People's Comments Allah tells us how Qarun went forth one day before his people with his magnificent regalia; wearing his fine clothes, accompanied by his fine horses, his servants and retinue.
When those whose desires and inclinations were for the world saw his adornments and splendor, they wished that they could have the same as he had been given, and said: يلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ قَـرُونُ إِنَّهُ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ ( Ah, would that we had the like of what Qarun has been given! Verily, he is the owner of a great fortune. ) meaning, `he is very lucky and has a great share in this world.' When the people of beneficial knowledge heard this, they said to them: وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـلِحاً ( Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for those who believe and do righteous deeds, ) `Allah's reward to His believing, righteous servants in the Hereafter is better than what you see,' as is reported in the authentic Hadith: «يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلَا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ وَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ: فَلاَ تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أُخْفِىَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ( Allah has prepared for His righteous servants what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and the heart of a human cannot comprehend.
Recite, if you wish: (No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do. )) ( 32:17 ). وَلاَ يُلَقَّاهَآ إِلاَّ الصَّـبِرُونَ ( and this none shall attain except the patient. ) As-Suddi said: "None shall reach Paradise except for the patient" -- as if this were the completion of the statement made by the people of knowledge.
Ibn Jarir said, "This applies only to those who patiently forsake the love of this world, seeking the Hereafter.
It is as if this is part of what the people of knowledge said, but it is made part of the Words of Allah, stating this fact."
