6.  *     He says: "I spent so much money!"
 
7.  *     Does he think that no one saw him?
 
8.  *     Did We not make for him two eyes?
 
9.  *     And a tongue and two lips?
 
10.  *     And We guided him to both paths?
 
11.  *     He should choose the difficult path.
 
12.  *     Do you know which is the difficult path?
 
13.  *     The freeing of slaves.
 
14.  *     Or the feeding on a day of great hardship.
 
15.  *     An orphan of relation.
 
16.  *     Or a poor person in need.
