Al-Muddaththir 74:11–17
Leave Me with the one I created alone
ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا ١١ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا ١٢ وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا ١٣ وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا ١٤ ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ١٥ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا ١٦ سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا ١٧
The meaning, simply
Leave Me with the one I created alone in his mother's womb. I gave him much wealth, sons present with him, and an easy life, yet he wants Me to give him more. No! He was stubborn against Our verses; I will make him face a hard punishment.
