آیت :
16
سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ
16. We shall brand him on the snout (nose)!
آیت :
17
إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَيَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِينَ
17. Verily, We have tried them as We tried the people of the garden, when they swore to pluck the fruits of the (garden) in the morning,
آیت :
18
وَلَا يَسۡتَثۡنُونَ
18. Without saying: Inshâ’ Allâh (If Allâh wills).
آیت :
19
فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ
19. Then there passed by on the (garden) a visitation (fire) from your Lord at night and burnt it while they were asleep.
آیت :
20
فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ
20. So the (garden) became black by the morning, like a pitch dark night (in complete ruins).
آیت :
21
فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ
21. Then they called out one to another as soon as the morning broke.
آیت :
22
أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ
22. Saying: "Go to your tilth in the morning, if you would pluck the fruits."
آیت :
23
فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ
23. So they departed, conversing in secret low tones (saying):
آیت :
24
أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ
24. "No Miskîn (poor man) shall enter upon you into it today."
آیت :
25
وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدٖ قَٰدِرِينَ
25. And they went in the morning with strong intention, thinking that they have power (to prevent the poor taking anything of the fruits therefrom).
آیت :
26
فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ
26. But when they saw the (garden), they said: "Verily, we have gone astray."
آیت :
27
بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ
27. (Then they said): "Nay! Indeed we are deprived of (the fruits)!"
آیت :
28
قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ
28. The best among them said: "Did I not tell you: why say you not: Inshâ’ Allâh (If Allâh wills)."
آیت :
29
قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ
29. They said: "Glory to Our Lord! Verily, we have been Zâlimûn (wrong-doers)."
آیت :
30
فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ
30. Then they turned one against another, blaming.
آیت :
31
قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ
31. They said: "Woe to us! Verily, we were Tâghûn (transgressors and disobedient)
آیت :
32
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبۡدِلَنَا خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ
32. We hope that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this. Truly, we turn to our Lord (wishing for good that He may forgive our sins and reward us in the Hereafter).
آیت :
33
كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡعَذَابُۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ
33. Such is the punishment (in this life), but truly, the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they but knew.
آیت :
34
إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
34. Verily, for the Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2) are Gardens of delight (Paradise) with their Lord.
آیت :
35
أَفَنَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ كَٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
35. Shall We then treat the Muslims (believers of Islamic Monotheism, doers of righteous deeds) like the Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists and disbelievers, etc.)?
آیت :
36
مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ
36. What is the matter with you? How judge you?
آیت :
37
أَمۡ لَكُمۡ كِتَٰبٞ فِيهِ تَدۡرُسُونَ
37. Or have you a Book wherein you learn,
آیت :
38
إِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ
38. That you shall therein have all that you choose?
آیت :
39
أَمۡ لَكُمۡ أَيۡمَٰنٌ عَلَيۡنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمۡ لَمَا تَحۡكُمُونَ
39. Or have you oaths from Us, reaching to the Day of Resurrection, that yours will be what you judge?
آیت :
40
سَلۡهُمۡ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ
40. Ask them, which of them will stand surety for that!
آیت :
41
أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ
41. Or have they "partners"? Then let them bring their "partners" if they are truthful!
آیت :
42
يَوۡمَ يُكۡشَفُ عَن سَاقٖ وَيُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
42. (Remember) the Day when the Shin[1] shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) and they shall be called to prostrate themselves (to Allâh), but they (hypocrites) shall not be able to do so.
