وَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ هَادٍ تَسْتَهْدِيهِ إِلَى زَادٍ تَسْتَمِدُّهُ
You turn away from a guide from whom you could seek guidance, and toward provisions you desire to obtain.
Raghiba ʿan expresses turning away, while changing the preposition may signal inclination toward something. Hād is a guide; zād is a traveler’s provision.
The image does not deny the usefulness of provisions. It questions preferring possessions over the guidance needed to use them well.
