According to Qatadah, Ibn Abbas took it in the meaning of arda (pleased), and according to Ikrimah in the meaning of qannaa (satisfied). According to Imam Razi, whatever is given to a person over and above his need and requirement is aqna. Abu Ubaidah and several other lexicographers have expressed the view that aqna is derived from qunya-tun, which means lasting and secured property, e.g. the house, lands, gardens, cattle, etc. Ibn Zaid, however, has given quite a different meaning of it. He says that aqua here has been used in the sense of afqara (made penniless), and the verse means: He made whomever He pleased rich and whomever He pleased penniless. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab And that He it is who gives possessions and abundant means; He makes people abound in wealth or natural resources, and it is He Who enriches man with heavenly grace or contents by the fulfillment of a desire or the supply of a want, and it is He Who effects the satisfaction and contented state of mind. ### Bijan Moeinian Know that God is the One Who makes you rich or poor [for trial and maturity]. ### Al-Hilali & Khan And that it is He (Allâh) Who gives much or a little (of wealth and contentment) ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali That it is He Who giveth wealth and satisfaction; ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran And He is the One Who enriches and impoverishes. ### Taqi Usmani and that He is the One who gives wealth and preserves (it), ### Abdul Haleem that it is He who gives wealth and possessions; ### Arthur John Arberry and that it is He who gives wealth and riches, ### E.
