    68:13Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender

14. أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالࣲ وَبَنِينَ ۝١٤

    68:14Because he is a possessor of wealth and children

15. إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٥

    68:15When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples

16. سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ ۝١٦

    68:16We will brand him upon the snout

17. إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَيَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِينَ ۝١٧

    68:17Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

18. وَلَا يَسۡتَثۡنُونَ ۝١٨

    68:18Without making exception

19. فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ ۝١٩

    68:19So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep

20. فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ ۝٢٠

    68:20And it became as though reaped

21. فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ ۝٢١

    68:21And they called one another at morning

22. أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ ۝٢٢

    68:22[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit

23. فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ ۝٢٣

    68:23So they set out, while lowering their voices

24. أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينࣱ ۝٢٤

    68:24[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person

    68:25And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able

26. فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ ۝٢٦

    68:26But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost

27. بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ ۝٢٧

    68:27Rather, we have been deprived

28. قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ۝٢٨

    68:28The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]

29. قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ۝٢٩

    68:29They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers

30. فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ ۝٣٠

    68:30Then they approached one another, blaming each other

31. قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ ۝٣١

    68:31They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors

32. عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبۡدِلَنَا خَيۡرࣰا مِّنۡهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ ۝٣٢

    68:32Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous

33. كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡعَذَابُۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٣٣

    68:33Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew

34. إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٣٤

    68:34Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure

35. أَفَنَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ كَٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ۝٣٥

    68:35Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals

36. مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ۝٣٦

    68:36What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge

37. أَمۡ لَكُمۡ كِتَٰبࣱ فِيهِ تَدۡرُسُونَ ۝٣٧

    68:37Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

38. إِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ۝٣٨

    68:38That indeed for you is whatever you choose

39. أَمۡ لَكُمۡ أَيۡمَٰنٌ عَلَيۡنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمۡ لَمَا تَحۡكُمُونَ ۝٣٩

    68:39Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge

40. سَلۡهُمۡ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ۝٤٠

    68:40Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible

41. أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝٤١

    68:41Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful

42. يَوۡمَ يُكۡشَفُ عَن سَاقࣲ وَيُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ۝٤٢

    68:42The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able

43. خَٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةࣱۖ وَقَدۡ كَانُواْ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمۡ سَٰلِمُونَ ۝٤٣

    68:43Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound

44. فَذَرۡنِي وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِۖ سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٤٤

    68:44So 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

45. وَأُمۡلِي لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَيۡدِي مَتِينٌ ۝٤٥

    68:45And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm

46. أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرࣰا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمࣲ مُّثۡقَلُونَ ۝٤٦

    68:46Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down

47. أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبُ فَهُمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ ۝٤٧

    68:47Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down

48. فَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلۡحُوتِ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكۡظُومࣱ ۝٤٨

    68:48Then 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

49. لَّوۡلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعۡمَةࣱ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذۡمُومࣱ ۝٤٩

    68:49If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured

50. فَٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۝٥٠

    68:50And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous

51. وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَيُزۡلِقُونَكَ بِأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ لَمَّا سَمِعُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجۡنُونࣱ ۝٥١

    68:51And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad

52. وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرࣱ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٥٢

    68:52But it is not except a reminder to the worlds
