bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they

180. And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which Allah hath given
them of His Grace think that it is good for them: nay it will be the worse for them:

and the earth; and Allah is well acquainted with all that ye do.
