15. Hixhr · verses 75–81

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatin lilmutawassimeena

Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.

وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٖ مُّقِيمٍ

Wainnaha labisabeelin muqeemin

And the (cities were) right on the high-road.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatan lilmumineena

Behold! in this is a sign for those who believed.

وَإِن كَانَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَيۡكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ

Wain kana ashabu alaykati lathalimeena

And the Companions of the Wood were also wrong-doers;

فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ

Faintaqamna minhum wainnahuma labiimamin mubeenin

So We exacted retribution from them. They were both on an open highway, plain to see.

وَلَقَدۡ كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡحِجۡرِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Walaqad kaththaba ashabu alhijri almursaleena

The Companions of the Rocky Tract also rejected the messengers:

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُواْ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِينَ

Waataynahum ayatina fakanoo AAanha muAArideena

We sent them Our Signs, but they persisted in turning away from them.
