treasure
فحينئذ اظهرنا أموالنا وذخائرنا وأغلقنا أبواب الحصون التي بمدينتنا وسلمنا لحكم ربنا وفوضنا أمرنا لمالكنا فمتنا جميعا كما ترانا وتركنا ما عمرنا وما أذخرنا
upon we put out our riches and our treasures, locked the gates of the fortresses in our city, and submitted ourselves to the decree of our Lord, committing our case to our Master; and thus we all died, as thou beholdest, and left what we had built and what we had treasured.
