Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : In the early morning,
Ref: Surah Al-Qalam 68: 17
Arabic:
إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ ١٧
Translation:
Indeed, We have tested those ˹Meccans˺ as We tested the owners of the garden—when they swore they would surely harvest ˹all˺ its fruit in the early morning,
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
This verse introduces the parable of the owners of the garden, who were wealthy but ungrateful and refused to share their harvest with the poor.
-
Allah tested them by destroying their garden overnight, showing the consequences of arrogance and stinginess.
-
Their intention was to harvest in secret, avoiding charity and disobeying Allah’s command to give from their wealth.
-
The parable serves as a lesson that wealth is a trust from Allah and can be taken away at any moment.
-
It warns believers to maintain thankfulness, charity, and humility, as disobedience leads to loss and regret.
