Explanatory translation
28One among them who could think more soundly than the others, a moderate and sensible person, seeing their state, said: “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not be so sure of yourselves, give up these evil plans of yours, do not put Allah out of your minds, and respect the right of the poor and needy’? I had warned you many times before: should you not remember Allah and glorify His name, and, in return for so many blessings, give Allah and His poor servants their due?”
