Surah Ash-Shura (42:20)

مَنۡ كَانَ يُرِيۡدُ حَرۡثَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ نَزِدۡ لَهٗ فِىۡ حَرۡثِهٖۚ وَمَنۡ كَانَ يُرِيۡدُ حَرۡثَ الدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهٖ مِنۡهَا وَمَا لَهٗ فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ مِنۡ نَّصِيۡبٍ‏ ۝

Man kana yureedu hartha al-akhiratinazid lahu fee harthihi waman kana yureedu harthaaddunya nu/tihi minha wama lahu feeal-akhirati min naseeb

Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter - We increase for him in his harvest i.e., reward. And whoever desires the harvest i.e., benefits of this world - We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share.
