An-Nisa 4:173

Word by word

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۦ ۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَنكَفُوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فَيُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَلَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا

And as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards and grant them extra from His bounty. But as for those who disdained and were arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will not find for themselves besides Allāh any protector or helper.

فأمَّا الذين صَدَّقوا بالله اعتقادًا وقولا وعملا واستقاموا على شريعته فيوفيهم ثواب أعمالهم، ويزيدُهم من فضله، وأما الذين امتنعوا عن طاعة الله، واستكبروا عن التذلل له فيعذبهم عذابًا موجعًا، ولا يجدون لهم وليًّا ينجيهم من عذابه، ولا ناصرًا ينصرهم من دون الله.
