Explanatory translation

18They did not even take into consideration the warnings of their brother among them, a man of sound judgment, who said, “Let us set aside the right of the poor from our property.” Moreover, in their oaths they did not take Allah’s permission and will into account. That is, they did not even feel the need to say, “Insha’Allah (if Allah wills), we will do it tomorrow,” or, “If Allah permits, we will accomplish this too.” It never even crossed their minds that Allah is the true owner of everything.
