1
A questioner asked of a chastisement about to fall
2
for the unbelievers, which none may avert,
3
from God, the Lord of the Stairways.
4
To Him the angels and the Spirit mount up, in a day whereof the measure is fifty thousand years.
5
So be thou patient with a sweet patience;
6
behold, they see it as if far off;
8
Upon the day when heaven shall be as molten copper
9
and the mountains shall be as plucked wool-tufts,
10
no loyal friend shall question loyal friend,
11
as they are given sight of them. The sinner will wish that he might ransom himself from the chastisement of that day even by his sons,
12
his companion wife, his brother,
13
his kin who sheltered him,
14
and whosoever is in the earth, all together, so that then it might deliver him.
15
Nay, verily it is a furnace
16
snatching away the scalp,
17
calling him who drew back and turned away,
18
who amassed and hoarded.
19
Surely man was created fretful,
20
when evil visits him, impatient,
21
when good visits him, grudging,
23
and continue at their prayers,
24
those in whose wealth is a right known
25
for the beggar and the outcast,
26
who confirm the Day of Doom
27
and go in fear of the chastisement of their Lord
28
(from their Lord's chastisement none feels secure)
29
and guard their private parts
30
save from their wives and what their right hands own, then not being blameworthy
