And We bestowed on him (again) his household and therewith the like thereof, a mercy from Us, and a memorial for men of understanding

And (it was said unto him): Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith, and break not thine oath. Lo! We found him steadfast, how excellent a slave! Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (to his Lord)

And make mention of Our bondmen, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, men of parts and vision

Lo! We purified them with a pure thought, remembrance of the Home (of the Hereafter)

Lo! in Our sight they are verily of the elect, the excellent

And make mention of Ishmael and Elisha and Dhu'l-Kifl. All are of the chosen

This is a reminder. And lo! for those who ward off (evil) is a happy journey's end

Gardens of Eden, whereof the gates are opened for them

Wherein, reclining, they call for plenteous fruit and cool drink (that is) therein

And with them are those of modest gaze, companions

This it is that ye are promised for the Day of Reckoning

Lo! this in truth is Our provision, which will never waste away

This (is for the righteous). And lo! for the transgressors there with be an evil journey's end

Hell, where they will burn, an evil resting-place

Here is a boiling and an ice-cold draught, so let them taste it

And other (torment) of the kind in pairs (the two extremes)

Here is an army rushing blindly with you. (Those who are already in the Fire say): No word of welcome for them. Lo! they will roast at the Fire

They say: Nay, but you (misleaders), for you there is no word of welcome. Ye prepared this for us (by your misleading). Now hapless is the plight

They say: Our Lord! Whoever did prepare this for us, oh, give him double portion of the Fire
