فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ |  | 50 And they will draw near to one another, asking one of another:
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ |  | 51 (A speaker among them will say: “I had a companion,
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ |  | 52 “Said he: ‘Art thou in truth of those who give credence:
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ |  | 53 “‘When we are dead and dust and bones, will we be held to account?’”
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ |  | 54 He will say: “Will you1 look?”
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ |  | 55 Then will he look and see him in the midst of Hell.
قَالَ تَٱللَّـهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ |  | 56 He will say: “By God, thou hadst almost brought me to ruin!
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ |  | 57 “And were it not for the favour of my Lord, I would have been among those summoned.”)
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ |  | 58 “Are we1 then not to die,
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ |  | 59 “Save our former death, and are not to be punished?”
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ |  | 60 That is the Great Achievement!
لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ |  | 61 For the like of this let the workers work!
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ |  | 62 Is that better as a welcome, or the Tree of Zaqqūm?1
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ |  | 63 We have made it1 a means of denial2 for the wrongdoers.3
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ |  | 64 It is a tree1 that comes forth in the root of Hell,
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ |  | 65 Its spathes are as the heads of satans,1
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ |  | 66 They will eat thereof, and fill thereof their1 bellies;
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ |  | 67 Then on top of it will they have a mixture of scalding water;
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ |  | 68 Then will their return be to Hell.
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ |  | 69 They found their fathers astray,
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ |  | 70 And in their footsteps are they hastening.1
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |  | 71 And most of the former peoples had gone astray before them,
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ |  | 72 And We had sent among them warners.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ |  | 73 So see thou how was the final outcome of those who were warned,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ |  | 74 Save the sincere servants of God.
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ |  | 75 And Noah called to Us — and how excellent were the responders!
وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ |  | 76 And We delivered him and his household from the great distress,
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ |  | 77 And We made his progeny those remaining.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ |  | 78 And We left for him among those who came later:
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |  | 79 “Peace be upon Noah among all mankind!”
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ |  | 80 Thus reward We the doers of good;
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |  | 81 He was among Our believing servants.1
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ |  | 82 Then drowned We the others.
وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ |  | 83 And of his kind1 was Abraham,
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ |  | 84 When he came to his Lord with a pure heart,
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ |  | 85 When he said to his father and his people: “What do you serve?
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّـهِ تُرِيدُونَ |  | 86 “Is it falsehood — gods besides God — you desire?
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |  | 87 “So what is your thought about the Lord of All Creation?”
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ |  | 88 (And he cast a look1 at the stars,
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ |  | 89 And said: “I am sick.”1)
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ |  | 90 Then they turned away from him, and left.1
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ |  | 91 Then he turned aside to their gods, and said: “Do you not eat?
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ |  | 92 “What ails you, that you speak not?”
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ |  | 93 And he turned upon them, striking with his right hand.1
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ |  | 94 Then came they towards him in haste.
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ |  | 95 He said: “Serve you what you hew
وَٱللَّـهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ |  | 96 “When God created you and what you make?”
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ |  | 97 They said: “Build for him a structure, and cast him into the blazing fire!”1
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ |  | 98 And they intended for him a plan; but We made them the lowest.
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ |  | 99 And he said: “I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.”
