Sura 4, an-Nisa, Medina 92


The Quranic text and Ali’s version




يُرِيدُ اللّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْ وَخُلِقَ الإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا ﴿٢٨﴾

4:28.   Allah doth wish to lighten your (difficulties): for man was created weak (in flesh).

 


Asad’s version


4: 28 God wants to lighten your burdens: for man has been created weak.



[["man has been created weak" (4:28), it is almost a "law of nature" that whenever he is exposed to the prospect of great wealth he is liable to lose sight of all spiritual and moral considerations, and to become utterly selfish, greedy and ruthless. ]]
