  1. Saheeh InternationalNun. By the pen and what they inscribe,
  1. Saheeh InternationalYou are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, you are of a great moral character.
  1. Saheeh InternationalSo you will see and they will see
  1. Saheeh InternationalWhich of you is the afflicted [by a devil].
  1. Saheeh InternationalIndeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
  1. Saheeh InternationalThen do not obey the deniers.
  1. Saheeh InternationalThey wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd do not obey every worthless habitual swearer
  1. Saheeh International[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -
  1. Saheeh InternationalA preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,
  1. Saheeh InternationalCruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.
  1. Saheeh InternationalBecause he is a possessor of wealth and children,
  1. Saheeh InternationalWhen Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
  1. Saheeh InternationalWe will brand him upon the snout.
  1. Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning
  1. Saheeh InternationalWithout making exception.
  1. Saheeh InternationalSo there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd it became as though reaped.
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd they called one another at morning,
  1. Saheeh International[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."
  1. Saheeh InternationalSo they set out, while lowering their voices,
  1. Saheeh International[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.
  1. Saheeh InternationalBut when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
  1. Saheeh InternationalRather, we have been deprived."
  1. Saheeh InternationalThe most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?' "
  1. Saheeh InternationalThey said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
  1. Saheeh InternationalThen they approached one another, blaming each other.
  1. Saheeh InternationalThey said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.
  1. Saheeh InternationalPerhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."
  1. Saheeh InternationalSuch is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
  1. Saheeh InternationalIndeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.
  1. Saheeh InternationalThen will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?
  1. Saheeh InternationalWhat is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?
  1. Saheeh InternationalOr do you have a scripture in which you learn
  1. Saheeh InternationalThat indeed for you is whatever you choose?
  1. Saheeh InternationalOr do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?
  1. Saheeh InternationalAsk them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.
  1. Saheeh InternationalOr do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.
  1. Saheeh InternationalThe Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,
  1. Saheeh InternationalTheir eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.
  1. Saheeh InternationalSo leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
  1. Saheeh InternationalOr do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?
  1. Saheeh InternationalOr have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?
  1. Saheeh InternationalThen be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.
  1. Saheeh InternationalIf not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.
  1. Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
  1. Saheeh InternationalBut it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
