Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

Transliteration

Wa laa yastasnoon

Translation

Without making exception.

Transliteration

Fataafa 'alaihaa taaa'i fum mir rabbika wa hum naaa'imoon

Transliteration

Qaaloo yaa wailanaaa innaa kunnaa taagheen

Translation

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

Transliteration

'Asaa rabbunaaa any yubdilanaa khairam minhaaa innaaa ilaa rabbinaa raaghiboon

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

Transliteration

Am lahum shurakaaa'u falyaatoo bishurakaaa 'ihim in kaanoo saadiqeen

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

Transliteration

Fazarnee wa many yukazzibu bihaazal hadeesi sanastad rijuhum min haisu laa ya'lamoon

So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

Transliteration

Am 'indahumul ghaibu fahum yaktuboon

Translation

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

Transliteration

Fasbir lihkmi rabbika wa laa takun kasaahibil boot; iz naadaa wa huwa makzoom

Translation

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.

Transliteration

Law laaa an tadaara kahoo ni'matum mir rabbihee lanubiza bil'araaa'i wa huwa mazmoom

Translation

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

Transliteration

Fajtabaahu rabbuhoo faja'alahoo minas saaliheen

Translation

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

Transliteration

Wa iny-yakaadul lazeena kafaroo la-yuzliqoonaka biabsaarihim lammaa saml'uz-Zikra wa yaqooloona innahoo lamajnoon

Wa maa huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen

Translation

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
