Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 266

اَیَوَدُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ لَهٗ جَنَّةٌ مِّنْ نَّخِیْلٍ وَّاَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ لَهٗ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ وَاَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَهٗ ذُرِّیَّةٌ ضُعَفَآءُ فَاَصَابَهَاۤ اِعْصَارٌ فِیْهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ 

Ayawaddu ahadukum an takoona lahoo jannatum min nakheelinw wa a'naabin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru lahoo feehaa min kullis samaraati wa asaabahul kibaru wa lahoo zurriyyatun du'afaaa'u fa asaabahaaa i'saarun feehi naarun fahtaraqat; kazaalika yubaiyinul laahu lakumul aayaati la'allakum tatafakkaroon

Does any of you wish that he should have a garden with date-palms and vines and streams flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruit, while he is stricken with old age, and his children are not strong (enough to look after themselves)- that it should be caught in a whirlwind, with fire therein, and be burnt up? Thus doth Allah make clear to you (His) Signs; that ye may consider.
