Translation
“(In that case, know that) perhaps my Lord will give me a better garden than yours. And Allah might send to your garden thunder from the sky and your garden will become like dry dust.”
Tafsir
People cannot know what will happen to them in their destiny. Therefore, only those who rely on Allah (swt) and seek His will can find solace and comfort with Allah (swt). In this respect, the one who is weaker than his friend in terms of wealth and children, by saying to his friend, "Perhaps my Lord will give me a better vineyard than yours," he is turning the person back to Allah (swt) and reminding him that Allah (swt) is the owner of everything and that Allah (swt) has the power and might. Then he said that he would send a thunderbolt from the sky to your vineyard and it would become a dry land.
What is said in the video
In the fortieth verse it says:
Perhaps my Lord will give me something better than your vineyard, and upon your vineyard He will send from the sky thunderbolts, and the vineyard becomes completely dry ground. Yes.
People do not know what will befall them within their destiny. Therefore only those who rely on Allah Almighty, who make Him their aim, find consolation in Allah and are at ease. Therefore the one weaker than his friend who boasted of wealth and children, by telling his friend, "Perhaps my Lord will give me something better than your vineyard," turned the man to Allah Almighty and, reminding him that Allah is the owner of everything, let his friend know that strength and power are in Allah's hands. And then he said: He will send a thunderbolt from the sky upon your vineyard, and your vineyard will turn into dry ground.
