Surah Aali Imran (The Family of Imran), Verse 117

مَثَلُ مَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا كَمَثَلِ رِیْحٍ فِیْهَا صِرٌّ اَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْمٍ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَاَهْلَكَتْهُ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَلٰكِنْ اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ ۟

Masalu maa yunfiqoona fee haazihil hayaatid dunyaa kamasali reehin feehaa sirrun asaabat harsa qawmin zalamooo anfusahum fa ahlakath; wa maa zalamahumul laahu wa laakin anfusahum yazlimoon

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.
