وَكَانَ لَهُۥ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَنَا۠ أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا
Wak a na lahu thamarun faq a la li sah ibihi wahuwa yu ha wiruhu an a aktharu minka m a lan waaAAazzu nafar a n
And so [the man] had fruit in abundance. And [one day] he said to his friend, bandying words with him, "More wealth have I than thou, and mightier am I as regards [the number and power of my] followers!"
  - Mohammad Asad
He had abundant produce, he said to his companion while conversing with him: "I am richer than you and my clan is mightier than yours."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And he had other resources1 'as well'. So he boasted to a 'poor' companion of his, while conversing with him, 'I am greater than you in wealth and superior in manpower.'
  - Mustafa Khattab

 The word “thamar” can mean fruits, gold and silver, etc.

And he had fruit. And he said unto his comrade, when he spake with him: I am more than thee in wealth, and stronger in respect of men.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
(Abundant) was the produce this man had: he said to his companion in the course of a mutual argument: "More wealth have I than you and more honor and power in (my following of) men." 2376
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The two men began to compare notes. The arrogant one was puffed up with his possessions, his income, and his large family and following, and thought in his self- complacency that it would last for ever. He was also wrong in looking down on his Companion, who, though less affluent, was the better man of the two.
