N. By the pen and what they inscribe:
You are not, by the blessing of your Lord, a madman,
and indeed, you shall have a never-ending reward,
and indeed, you are of a great moral character.
So you will see, and they will see
which of you is the afflicted one.
Indeed, your Lord knows best who has strayed off His path, and He knows best who are the guided ones.
So do not obey the deniers.
They wish that you would compromise, then they too would compromise.
Do not obey every despicable habitual swearer,
backbiter, spreader of slander,
preventer of good, transgressor, sinner,
gross, and furthermore, dishonourable,
just because he possesses wealth and children.
When Our revelations are recited to him, he says, "Tales of the previous ones."
We will brand him on the snout!
We have tested them, just like We tested the owners of the garden when they swore that they would harvest it in the morning
without making any exceptions.
So a visitation from your Lord passed by it while they were asleep,
so it became as though it had been plucked.
They called out to one another in the morning,
"Go early to your field if you intend to harvest."
So off they went, whispering to one another,
"Let no needy person enter it upon you today."
They went off early, determined and able.
But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are astray!
Rather, we have been deprived."
The most moderate among them said, "Did I not say to you, 'If only you would glorify?' "
They said, "Glory to our Lord! Indeed, we have been transgressors."
They approached one another, blaming each other.
They said, "Woe to us! Indeed, we have been transgressors.
Perhaps our Lord will replace one better than it for us. To our Lord, we seek to turn."
Such is the punishment. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they only knew.
For the reverent there shall be, at their Lord, Gardens of Bliss.
Should We make the Submitters the same as the criminals?
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
Or do you have some book in which you are studying?
Do you have in it whatever you choose?
Or do you have a pledge that is binding on Us until the Day of Resurrection, allowing you to have whatever you decide?
Ask them, "Which one of them makes such a claim?"
Or do they have partners? Then let them produce their partners if they are truthful.
On the Day when a leg will be exposed, they will be called to prostration, but they will be unable to.
With their eyesight subdued, humiliation will overwhelm them, for they used to be called to prostration when they were sound and able.
So leave the one who denies this Hadith to Me. We will lead them on from where they know not.
I will give them respite. Indeed, My scheme is firm.
Or are you asking them for a payment that leaves them weighed down with debt?
Or is the unseen available to them, and so they are writing it down?
So be patient for the judgment of your Lord, and do not be like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was in great distress.
Had it not been that a blessing from his Lord reached him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore in disgrace.
But his Lord chose him and made him one of the righteous.
Those who disbelieved almost strike you down with their looks when they hear the Reminder, and they say, "He is a madman!"
It is but a Reminder for all the people.
