Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

That they may disbelieve in that which We have given them, and that they may take their ease. But they will come to know.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Disdaining ungratefully Our gifts, and giving themselves up to (worldly) enjoyment! But soon will they know.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ليكفروا بما آتيناهم وليتمتعوا ) : هذه اللام يسميها كثير من أهل العربية والتفسير وعلماء الأصول لام العاقبة ; لأنهم لا يقصدون ذلك ، ولا شك أنها كذلك بالنسبة إليهم ، وأما بالنسبة إلى تقدير الله عليهم ذلك وتقييضه إياهم لذلك فهي لام التعليل . وقد قدمنا تقرير ذلك في قوله : ( ليكون لهم عدوا وحزنا ) [ القصص : 8 ] .
