So that when We seize the affluent among them with affliction, they will begin to implore for help.
To the extent that when We seized the wealthy among them with punishment, they immediately began imploring.
Till, when We seize with the chastisement the ones of them that live at ease, behold, they groan.
until - after We shall have taken to task, through suffering, those from among them who [now] are lost in the pursuit of pleasures - they cry out in [belated] supplication.
Until when We lay hold of the luxuriant ones of them with the torment, and lo! then they are imploring!
Until, when We grasp those of them who lead a luxurious life with punishment, behold! They make humble invocation with a loud voice.
Until, when We seize the decadent among them with torment, they begin to groan.
until We seize with Our chastisement those of them that are given to luxuriant ways. They will then begin to groan.

Till when We grasp their luxurious ones with the punishment, behold! they supplicate.
When We seize their affluent ones with punishment, behold, they make entreaties [to Us].

<p>مُتْرَ‌فِيهِم (their affluent ones - 23:64). The word مُتْرَ‌فِ is derived from تْرَ‌فِ meaning comfort and prosperity. This verse mentions the Divine punishment which will descend upon the unbelievers whether rich or poor. The rich people have been specially mentioned here because they are the ones who make adequate arrangements to protect themselves against disasters and misfortunes. But when retribution comes from Allah, they find themselves totally helpless. According to Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ the punishment which is mentioned in this verse is an allusion to the crushing defeat which the infidels of Makkah suffered at the hands of the Muslims in the Battle of Badr. Some others say that the reference is to the severe famine which afflicted the people of Makkah as a result of the curse laid on them by the Holy Prophet ﷺ ، when they were forced to eat dead animals and cats and dogs.</p><p>Although the Holy Prophet ﷺ and his companions, when faced ill-treatment from the infidels, used to remain patient and never complained yet when their suffering and torment became unbearable, the Holy Prophet ﷺ invoked divine punishment for the infidels in the following words:</p><p>اللَّھُمَّ اشدد وطأتک علٰی مضر و اجعلھا علیھم سنین کسنی یوسف (رواہ البخاری مسلم) (قرطبی و مظھری)</p><p>(0 Lord! Let thy punishment descend hard on the tribe of Mudar and make their land barren like the land of Yusuf.</p>
