But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -
Verse 31 of Surah Al-Ma’arij (70:31), a Meccan surah, is in juz 29, on page 569 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
Whoever seeks pleasure in other than whatever has been mentioned i.e. wives and servant girls, they are the ones who have transgressed the limits of Allah.
But whoever seeks beyond that, it is they who are the transgressors.
But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers.5
[5] (V.70:31) Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: I will narrate to you a Hadith I heard from Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and none other than I will tell of it. I heard Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "From among the portents of the Hour are the following: Religious knowledge will be taken away; General ignorance (in religious matters) will increase; illegal sexual intercourse will prevail; Drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common; Men will decrease in number, and women will increase in number, so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.7, Hadith No.158).
But whoso seeketh more than that, those are they who are transgressors;
But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;-
But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that go beyond the limits--
Yet, whoever inequitably seeks (anything) beyond that, then those are the ones who are the aggressors-

But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -
