Surah An-Nahl (16:71)

وَاللّٰهُ فَضَّلَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ فِى الرِّزۡقِۚ فَمَا الَّذِيۡنَ فُضِّلُوۡا بِرَآدِّىۡ رِزۡقِهِمۡ عَلٰى مَا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيۡهِ سَوَآءٌ ؕ اَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ اللّٰهِ يَجۡحَدُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Wallahu faddala baAAdakumAAala baAAdin fee arrizqi fama allatheenafuddiloo biraddee rizqihim AAala mamalakat aymanuhum fahum feehi sawaon afabiniAAmatiAllahi yajhadoon

And Allāh has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored i.e., given more would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess i.e., slaves so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allāh they reject?
