The example of what the disbelievers spend in the ways of good in this life of the world and what they hope for of reward, is like the example of a wind in which is a severe cold that blew upon the crop of a people who were hoping for its good, and because of their sins the wind did not leave anything of it. And these disbelievers do not find in the Hereafter a reward, and Allah did not wrong them by that, but they wronged themselves by their disbelief and their disobedience.
