لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ
And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ
So for Our punishment are they impatient?
أَفَرَءَيۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ سِنِينَ
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ
And then there came to them that which they were promised?
مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُمَتَّعُونَ
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.[1]
1- As was asserted by the disbelievers. Rather, it was brought by Gabriel, the Trustworthy Spirit.
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لَهُمۡ وَمَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ
Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.[1]
1- As mentioned in 72:9.
فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ
So do not invoke[1] with AllŒh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
1- Or "worship."
وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ
And warn, [O Muúammad], your closest kindred.
وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.
فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
Who sees you when you arise[1]
1- From your bed at night for prayer while you are alone.
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ
And your movement among those who prostrate.[1]
1- i.e., among those who pray with you in congregation.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ
They descend upon every sinful liar.
يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ
They pass on what is heard,[1] and most of them are liars.
1- This was before they were prevented, as described in 72:8-9.
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ
And the poets – [only] the deviators follow them;
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ
Do you not see that in every valley they roam[1]
1- Speaking lies indiscriminately and praising and disparaging others according to whim.
وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ
And that they say what they do not do? –
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ
Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember AllŒh often and defend [the Muslims][1] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
1- By replying through poetry to the attacks of hostile poets.
طسٓۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَكِتَابٖ مُّبِينٍ
$Œ, Seen.[1] These are the verses of the QurÕŒn [i.e., recitation] and a clear Book
1- See footnote to 2:1.
هُدٗى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
As guidance and good tidings for the believers
ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ
Who establish prayer and give zakŒh, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
