37. Safat · verses 145–159

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

Fanabathnahu bialAAarai wahuwa saqeemun

But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin

And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona

And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ila heenin

And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona

Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona

Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona

Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona

"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

Astafa albanati AAala albaneena

Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

What is the matter with you? How judge ye?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Afala tathakkaroona

Will ye not then receive admonition?

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

Am lakum sultanun mubeenun

Or have ye an authority manifest?

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena

Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona

And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)!

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
