I swear by this territory
-- and thou, O prophet, residest in this territory, -
and by the begetter, and that which He hath begotten
verily We have created man in misery
Doth he think that none shall prevail over him
He saith, I have wasted plenty of riches
Doth he think that none seeth him
Have we not made him two eyes
and a tongue, and two lips
and shewn him the two highways of good and evil
Yet he attempteth not the cliff
What shall make thee to understand what the cliff is
It is to free the captive
or to feed, in the day of famine
the orphan who is of kin
or the poor man who lieth on the ground
Whoso doth this, and is one of those who believe, and recommend perseverance unto each other, and recommend mercy unto each other
these shall be the companions of the right-hand
But they who shall disbelieve our signs, shall be the companions of the left-hand
Above them shall be arched fire
