The Holy Quran 6:53 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَكَذَٰلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لِّيَقُولُوٓا۟ أَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنۢ بَيْنِنَآ ۗ أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ

Translation

In this manner (as these people do not wish to associate with those of lower social standing) We use some (people) to test others so that they (the upper class) say, "Are these (lower classes) the ones whom Allaah has blessed from among us (by guiding them to Islaam instead of us)?" Allaah knows well who the grateful ones are (and it is them who Allaah shall guide to the straight path regardless of their social standing).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, [Allah] has tested the wealthy by means of the poor: they see them as lowly and wonder whether these are worthy of the favour of Allah. And Allah sees their hearts — that they acknowledge the right of Allah.
