اَيَوَدُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِنْ نَخ۪يلٍ وَاَعْنَابٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۙ لَهُ ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِۙ وَاَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَهُ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَٓاءُۖ فَاَصَابَهَٓا اِعْصَارٌ ف۪يهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ۟ ٢٦٦

English Translation
266Would any of you wish to have a garden of date palms and grapevines with rivers flowing through it and every kind of fruit in it, and then, just as old age overtakes him while he has small, helpless children, a fiery whirlwind strikes and burns his garden to ashes? Thus Allah makes His verses clear, so that you may reflect.
