Tafsir
Allah (swt) has also opened other sources of income for the owner of this vineyard, and he has multiplied in terms of offspring and children. This situation gave this person nafs haraam. He boasted to his friend who was weaker than him in wealth and children, saying, "I am richer than you in wealth and stronger than you in children and well-being. In this way, he took upon himself the worldly blessings that Allah (swt) had bestowed upon him and turned his back on Allah (swt).
