Yunus 10:88

Word by word

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ ءَاتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَأَهُۥ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَٰلًا فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِكَ ۖ رَبَّنَا ٱطْمِسْ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَٱشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

And Moses said, "Our Lord, indeed You have given Pharaoh and his establishment splendor and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."

وقال موسى: ربنا إنك أعطيت فرعون وأشراف قومه زينة من متاع الدنيا; فلم يشكروا لك، وإنما استعانوا بها على الإضلال عن سبيلك، ربنا اطمس على أموالهم، فلا ينتفعوا بها، واختم على قلوبهم حتى لا تنشرح للإيمان، فلا يؤمنوا حتى يروا العذاب الشديد الموجع.
