وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ يَحْيَىٰ وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا ۖ وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ ٩٠

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ

وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا ۖ
