15. Hixhr · verses 80–91

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.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخَلَّٰقُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

Inna rabbaka huwa alkhallaqu alAAaleemu

For verily it is thy Lord who is the Master-Creator, knowing all things.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰكَ سَبۡعٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَثَانِي وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ ٱلۡعَظِيمَ

Walaqad ataynaka sabAAan mina almathanee waalqurana alAAatheema

And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-repeated (verses) and the Grand Qur´an.

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

La tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum wala tahzan AAalayhim waikhfid janahaka lilmumineena

Strain not thine eyes. (Wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the believers.

وَقُلۡ إِنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

Waqul innee ana alnnatheeru almubeenu

And say: "I am indeed he that warneth openly and without ambiguity,"-

كَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡمُقۡتَسِمِينَ

Kama anzalna AAala almuqtasimeena

(Of just such wrath) as We sent down on those who divided (Scripture into arbitrary parts),-

ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُواْ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ عِضِينَ

Allatheena jaAAaloo alqurana AAideena

(So also on such) as have made Qur´an into shreds (as they please).
