((لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ [ثلاثاً]، اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الجَدُّ)).
la ilaha illa allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayta wa la mu'tiya lima mana'ta wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jaddu
There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs dominion and praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah, there is no preventer of what You give, and no giver of what You withhold, and wealth and honor do not benefit their possessor (except faith and righteous deeds that save from punishment). Only from You is wealth and honor.

Context & meaning
The opening is a declaration of oneness — no partner, dominion and praise His, power over all things. What follows turns that into a statement about giving and withholding, built as a closed pair: no one can prevent what He gives, and no one can give what He withholds. Between the two, no third party is left with any say. The last lines take up wealth and honour twice, first to say they do not benefit their possessor, then to say that they come only from Him.
When & how to recite
The chapter places these words after the completed prayer. The Arabic text marks it to be said three times.
Reflection
Wealth and honour are named as things that do not benefit their owner and, in the same breath, as things that come from Him alone. Neither of them is ever asked for.
