28

And restrain yourself, detain [yourself], along with those who call upon their Rabb at morning and evening, desiring, through their worship, His Countenance, exalted be He, and not any of the transient things of this world - and these are the poor; and do not let your eyes overlook, turn away [from], them - these [the eyes] are being used to refer to the person [addressed] - desiring the glitter of the life of this world. And do not obey him whose heart We have made oblivious to Our remembrance, that is, [to] the Qur'ān - this was 'Uyayna b. Hisn and his companions - and who follows his own whim, by attributing partners [to Allahu ta’ālā], and whose conduct is [mere] prodigality, excess.
