now korah was of the people of moses he became insolent to them for we had given him treasures such that the very keys of them were too heavy a burden for a company of men endowed with strength. when his people said to him do not exult god loves not those that exult but seek amidst that which god has given thee the last abode and forget not thy portion of the present world and do good as god has been good to thee. and seek not to work corruption in the earth surely god loves not the workers of corruption.
إن قارون كان من قوم موسى فبغى عليهم وآتيناه من الكنوز ما إن مفاتحه لتنوء بالعصبة أولي القوة إذ قال له قومه لا تفرح إن الله لا يحب الفرحين وابتغ فيما آتاك الله الدار الآخرة ولا تنس نصيبك من الدنيا وأحسن كما أحسن الله إليك ولا تبغ الفساد في الأرض إن الله لا يحب المفسدين
