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)?
