As-Saffat 37:165–182

37:165–166Page 452

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ١٦٥

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ ١٦٦

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."

37:167–170Page 452

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٦٧

And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,¹

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٦٨

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٦٩

We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٧٠

But they disbelieved in it,¹ so they are going to know.

37:171–173Page 452

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٧١

And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ ١٧٢

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ ١٧٣

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.¹

37:174Page 452

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ١٧٤

So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.

37:175Page 452

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ ١٧٥

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

37:176Page 452

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ١٧٦

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

37:177Page 452

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ ١٧٧

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

37:178Page 452

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ١٧٨

And leave them for a time.

37:179Page 452

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ ١٧٩

And see, for they are going to see.

37:180Page 452

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٨٠

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

37:181Page 452

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٨١

And peace upon the messengers.

37:182Page 452

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٨٢

And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
