Then there encompassed it a visitation from your Lord while they were sleeping.

So they went, while they consulted together secretly,

Or have they associates if they are truthful.

Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them; and they were called upon to make obeisance indeed while yet they were safe.

And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm.

Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down?

Those who are constant at their prayer

And those who guard their private parts,

And those who are faithful to their trusts and their covenant

And those who keep a guard on their prayer,

And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are puffed up with pride:

Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret:

What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement.

And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.

About which they differ?

And they shall by no means be absent from it.

But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.

When they sat by it,

And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers.

Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning.

Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement.

They shall have no food but of thorns,

And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand.

So Allah's messenger said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink.

Except those who believe and do good, so they shall have a reward never to be cut off.

Surely those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists shall be in the fire of hell, abiding therein; they are the worst of men.

(As for) those who believe and do good, surely they are the -best of men.

Who are unmindful of their prayers,

Who do (good) to be seen,
