إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
Inna fee thalika laayatin lilmutawassimeena
Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.
15. Hixhr · verses 75–85
سورة الحجروَإِنَّهَا 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.
وَكَانُواْ يَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ
Wakanoo yanhitoona mina aljibali buyootan amineena
Out of the mountains did they hew (their) edifices, (feeling themselves) secure.
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُصۡبِحِينَ
Faakhathathumu alssayhatu musbiheena
But the (mighty) Blast seized them of a morning,
فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
Fama aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yaksiboona
And of no avail to them was all that they did (with such art and care)!
وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞۖ فَٱصۡفَحِ ٱلصَّفۡحَ ٱلۡجَمِيلَ
Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi wainna alssaAAata laatiyatun faisfahi alssafha aljameela
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends. And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness.
