Transliteration:( Wa annahoo huwa aghnaa wa aqnaa )
"And that it is indeed He Who enriches and grants [59] satisfaction."
✅ [59] Allah's Control Over Wealth and Contentment
This verse means that Allah is the One who grants riches to the wealthy and patience and contentment to the poor. He also makes the hearts of His beloved servants generous, and He can instill outward contentment even in difficult circumstances. An example is the people of Sad ibn Eram — they were people during the time of Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace), who exemplified patience and satisfaction despite challenges.

(53:48) that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches,[43]
43. Different meanings have been given by the lexicographers and commentators of the word aqna as used in the original. According to Qatadah, Ibn Abbas took it in the meaning of arda (pleased), and according to Ikrimah in the meaning of qannaa (satisfied). According to Imam Razi, whatever is given to a person over and above his need and requirement is aqna. Abu Ubaidah and several other lexicographers have expressed the view that aqna is derived from qunya-tun, which means lasting and secured property, e.g. the house, lands, gardens, cattle, etc. Ibn Zaid, however, has given quite a different meaning of it. He says that aqua here has been used in the sense of afqara (made penniless), and the verse means: He made whomever He pleased rich and whomever He pleased penniless.
