وَ لَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ اَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلٰى حَیٰوةٍۚۛ-وَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْاۚۛ-یَوَدُّ اَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ یُعَمَّرُ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍۚ-وَ مَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهٖ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ اَنْ یُّعَمَّرَؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بَصِیْرٌۢ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(96)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And you shall most certainly find them to have the greatest yearning to live from the people; and among the polytheists, every one of them desires that if only he is given life for a thousand years.And being[1] granted life will not be a saviour from punishment, and Allah sees all that they do.

Commentary

[1]

Disbelievers yearn for worldly life and flee from death, whereas a true believer will only desire life to increase his good deeds and accumulate provisions of the Hereafter.
