An-Naba 78:31–40

78:31–35Page 583

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ٣١

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment¹ -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبٗا ٣٢

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابٗا ٣٣

And young women [companions] of equal age.

وَكَأۡسٗا دِهَاقٗا ٣٤

And a full cup.¹

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا كِذَّٰبٗا ٣٥

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

78:36–39Page 583

جَزَآءٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابٗا ٣٦

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,¹

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابٗا ٣٧

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.¹

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفّٗاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابٗا ٣٨

The Day that the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا ٣٩

That is the True [i.e., certain] Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.¹

78:40Page 583

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابٗا قَرِيبٗا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا ٤٠

Indeed, We have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth¹ and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
