Explanatory translation
27But when they realized that they had not come to the wrong place, that the place they had come to was their own garden, and that this was a test from Allah, they said: “No, we have not come to the wrong place! While trying to deprive the poor, it is actually we who have met with disaster. Because of the offense we committed, we have lost our garden’s crops, its income, and all our wealth. For we resolved to give nothing to the poor, and we did not say ‘insha’Allah’ for anything we did. It is not those poor people but we ourselves who have suddenly become poor.” Saying this, they collapsed, full of regret and in a wretched state.
