As-Saffat 37:91–122

37:91Page 449

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٩١

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?¹

37:92Page 449

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ٩٢

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

37:93Page 449

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩٣

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

37:94Page 449

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ ٩٤

Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.

37:95–96Page 449

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ ٩٥

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٦

While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

37:97Page 449

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٩٧

They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."

37:98Page 449

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ ٩٨

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.

37:99Page 449

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ ٩٩

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

37:100Page 449

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ١٠٠

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

37:101Page 449

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ ١٠١

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

37:102Page 449

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ١٠٢

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion,¹ he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."

37:103Page 450

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ ١٠٣

And when they had both submitted¹ and he put him down upon his forehead,

37:104–105Page 450

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ ١٠٤

We called to him, "O Abraham,

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٠٥

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:106Page 450

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ١٠٦

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

37:107Page 450

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ ١٠٧

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,¹

37:108Page 450

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١٠٨

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

37:109Page 450

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ١٠٩

"Peace upon Abraham."

37:110Page 450

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١١٠

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:111Page 450

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١١

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

37:112Page 450

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ١١٢

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.¹

37:113Page 450

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ ١١٣

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

37:114–115Page 450

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ١١٤

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ١١٥

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

37:116Page 450

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ ١١٦

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

37:117–119Page 450

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ ١١٧

And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ ١١٨

And We guided them on the straight path.

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١١٩

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

37:120–122Page 450

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ١٢٠

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٢١

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٢٢

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.
