Nuun* – by oath of the pen and by oath of what is written by it. (Alphabet of the Arabic language; Allah and to whomever He reveals, know their precise meanings.)
2
You are not insane, by the munificence of your Lord.
3
And indeed for you is an unlimited reward.
4
And indeed you possess an exemplary character.
5
So very soon, you will see and they too will realise –
6
- That who among you was insane.
7
Indeed your Lord well knows those who have strayed from His path, and He well knows those who are upon guidance.
8
Therefore do not listen to the deniers.
9
They wish that in some way you may yield, so they too might soften their stand.
10
Nor ever listen to any excessive oath maker, ignoble person.
11
The excessively insulting one, spreader of spite.
12
One who excessively forbids the good, transgressor, sinner.
13
Foul mouthed, and in addition to all this, of improper lineage.
14
Because he* has some wealth and sons. (Walid bin Mugaira, who cursed the Holy Prophet.)
15
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “These are stories of earlier people.”
16
We will soon singe his pig-nose.
17
We have indeed tested them the way We had tested the owners of the garden when they swore that they would reap its harvest the next morning.
18
And they did not say, “If Allah wills”.
19
So an envoy from your Lord completed his round upon the garden, whilst they were sleeping.
20
So in the morning it became as if harvested.
21
They then called out to each other at daybreak.
22
That, “Go to your fields at early morn, if you want to harvest.”
23
So they went off, while whispering to one another.
24
“Make sure that no needy person enters your garden this day.”
25
And they left at early morn, assuming they were in control of their purpose.
26
Then when they saw it, they said, “We have indeed strayed.”
27
“In fact, we are unfortunate.”
28
The best among them said, “Did I not tell you, ‘Why do you not proclaim His purity?’”
29
They said, “Purity is to our Lord – we have indeed been unjust.”
30
So they came towards each other, blaming.
