لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Do not look longingly at the pleasures We have given certain classes[1] of them[2], nor grieve over them[3], but lower your wing [in humility] to the believers[4].
Notes
[1] Azwāj: literally means pairs; here it means those who are alike in prosperity, as not all of them were rich and prosperous.
[2] So as to test them therein.
[3] The Prophet (ﷺ) felt sad that they would not believe and save themselves from Hellfire.
[4] The favor of the Qur’an far surpasses all other favors and worldly gains.
