quran:15:84 –

So nothing availed them ˹from˺ what they used to earn.  

And so that which they used to count as gain, in the way of building fortresses and amassing riches, did not avail, ˹did not˺ protect, them, from the chastisement.
القرآن:١٥:٨٤ –

فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ  

{فما أغنى} دفع {عنهم} العذاب {ما كانوا يكسبون} من بناء الحصون وجمع الأموال.

quran:26:207 –

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ

Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ  

{قد قالها الذين من قبلهم} من الأمم كقارون وقومه الراضين بها {فما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون}.

مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ
