24—Beware! Let no poor person come to the garden today and appear before us.
Explanatory translation
24“Beware! Let no poor person come before us today to beg. Let us gather our crop early,” they were saying. They had decided that no one should have a share in even a small part of their crop. Yet they made those poor people do the hard labor. It was thanks to these very people, too, that they would obtain the crops of that vineyard and garden. They should have considered that the garden and its crops belonged to Allah, who owned it before them and gave it to them, and who watched over their garden while they slept. In it lay both the right of Allah and many rights of Allah’s poor servants. But when they should have met the needs of those poor people for Allah’s sake, they turned to ingratitude instead.
