Q 16:71

وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِى ٱلرِّزْقِ ۚ فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا۟ بِرَآدِّى رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌ ۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ

Traductions

Allah a favorisé les uns d'entre vous par rapport aux autres dans [la répartition] de Ses dons. Ceux qui ont été favorisés ne sont nullement disposés à donner leur portion à ceux qu'ils possèdent de plein droit [esclaves] au point qu'ils y deviennent associés à part égale. Nieront-ils les bienfaits d'Allah?
Muhammad Hamidullah · FR
And Allah has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allah they reject?

Tafsir

Allah a favorisé certains d’entre vous par rapport à d’autres dans l’octroi de Sa subsistance. Il fit ainsi de certains des gens riches et d’autres des gens pauvres et fit de certains des chefs et d’autres des gens ordinaires. Ceux qu’Allah a favorisés ne sont pas disposés à céder une part de ce qu’Allah leur a accordé à leurs esclaves et à en faire leurs égaux. Pourquoi imputent-ils donc à Allah des associés parmi Ses serviteurs tandis qu’eux-mêmes refusent que leurs esclaves soient leurs associés et leurs égaux? Comment qualifier cette injustice et quelle ingratitude est plus grave que celle-là?

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))
And Allah honored some of you over others with wealth and properties. Then, those who are so honored will by no means hand over their wealth and properties to those (captives of war) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in that. Do they then deny the favor of Allah (71) There is a Sign and a Blessing in Matters of People's Livelihood Allah explains to the idolators the ignorance and disbelief involved in their claim that Allah has partners while also admitting that these partners are His servants. In their Talbiyah for Hajj, they used to say, "Here I am, there are no partners for You except Your own partner, You own him and everything he owns." Allah says, denouncing them: 'You would not accept for your servant to have an equal share in your wealth, so how is it that Allah would accept His servant to be His equal in divinity and glory? As Allah says elsewhere: ضَرَبَ لَكُم مَّثَلًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ هَل لَّكُم مِّن مَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُم مِّن شُرَكَاءَ فِي مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ فَأَنتُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ تَخَافُونَهُمْ كَخِيفَتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ (He sets forth a parable for you from yourselves: Do you have partners among those whom your right hands possess (i.e. your servant) to share as equals in the wealth We have granted you, those whom you fear as you fear each other?)(30:28) Al-'Awfi reported that Ibn 'Abbas mentioned this Ayah, saying, "Allah is saying - 'If they did not want their servant to have a share with them in their wealth and wives, how can My servant have a share with Me in My power?' Thus Allah says: أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ (Do they then deny the favor of Allah?)" According to another report, Ibn 'Abbas said: "How can they accept for Me that which they do not accept for themselves?" أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ (Do they then deny the favor of Allah?) meaning, they assign to Allah a share of the tilth and cattle which He has created. They denied His blessings and associated others in worship with Him. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: "Umar bin Al-Khattab wrote this letter to Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: 'Be content with your provision in this world, for the Most Merciful has honored some of His servants over others in terms of provision as a test of both. The one who has been given plenty is being tested to see if he will give thanks to Allah and fulfill the duties which are his by virtue of his wealth...'" It was reported by Ibn Abi Hatim.
