Surah Ali 'Imran

وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَا نُمْلِى لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ لِّأَنفُسِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّمَا نُمْلِى لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُوٓا۟ إِثْمًا ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

Wa lā yaḥsabannal-lażīna kafarū annamā numlī lahum khairul li'anfusihim, innamā numlī lahum liyazdādū iṡmā(n), wa lahum ‘ażābum muhīn(un).

And let not those who disbelieve ever think that [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment] it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.

137) This means do not assume that a long life is good for the disbelievers. If it is not used to perform righteous deeds, the longer the life, the worse it becomes for them.
