Saheeh InternationalA supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen
Yusuf AliA questioner asked about a Penalty to befall
«سأل سائل» دعا داع «بعذاب واقع».
Saheeh InternationalTo the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer
Yusuf AliThe Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off
(للكافرين ليس له دافع) هو النضر بن الحارث قال: "" اللهم إن كان هذا هو الحق "" الآية.
Saheeh International[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent
Yusuf Ali(A Penalty) from God, Lord of the Ways of Ascent
«من الله» متصل بواقع «ذي المعارج» مصاعد الملائكة وهي السماوات.
Saheeh InternationalThe angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years
Yusuf AliThe angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years
«تعرج» بالتاء والياء «الملائكة والروح» جبريل «إليه» إلى مهبط أمره من السماء «في يوم» متعلق بمحذوف، أي يقع العذاب بهم في يوم القيامة «كان مقداره خمسين ألف سنة» بالنسبة إلى الكافر لما يلقى فيه من الشدائد، وأما المؤمن فيكون أخف عليه من صلاة مكتوبة يصليها في الدنيا كما جاء في الحديث.
Saheeh InternationalSo be patient with gracious patience
Yusuf AliTherefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment)
«فاصبر» وهذا قبل أن يؤمر بالقتال «صبرا جميلا» أي لا جزع فيه.
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, they see it [as] distant
Yusuf AliThey see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event)
«إنهم يرونه» أي العذاب «بعيدا» غير واقع.
Saheeh InternationalBut We see it [as] near
Yusuf AliBut We see it (quite) near
«ونراه قريبا» واقعا لا محالة.
Saheeh InternationalOn the Day the sky will be like murky oil
Yusuf AliThe Day that the sky will be like molten brass
«يوم تكون السماء» متعلق بمحذوف تقديره يقع «كالمهل» كذائب الفضة.
Saheeh InternationalAnd the mountains will be like wool
Yusuf AliAnd the mountains will be like wool
«وتكون الجبال كالعهن» كالصوف في الخفة والطيران بالريح.
Saheeh InternationalAnd no friend will ask [anything of] a friend
Yusuf AliAnd no friend will ask after a friend
«ولا يسأل حميم حميما» قريب قريبه لاشتغال كل بحاله.
Saheeh InternationalThey will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children
Yusuf AliThough they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children
«يبصرونهم» أي يبصر الأحماء بعضهم بعضا ويتعارفون ولا يتكلمون والجملة مستأنفة «يود المجرم» يتمنى الكافر «لو» بمعنى أن «يفتدي من عذاب يومئذ» بكسر الميم وفتحها «ببنيه».
Saheeh InternationalAnd his wife and his brother
Yusuf AliHis wife and his brother
«وصاحبته» زوجته «وأخيه».
Saheeh InternationalAnd his nearest kindred who shelter him
Yusuf AliHis kindred who sheltered him
«وفصيلته» عشيرته لفصله منها «التي تؤويه» تضمه.
Saheeh InternationalAnd whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him
Yusuf AliAnd all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him
«ومن في الأرض جميعا ثم ينجيه» ذلك الافتداء عطف على يفتدي.
Saheeh InternationalNo! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell]
Yusuf AliBy no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell
«كلا» رد لما يوده «إنها» أي النار «لظى» اسم لجهنم لأنها تتلظى، أي تتلهب على الكفار.
Saheeh InternationalA remover of exteriors
Yusuf AliPlucking out (his being) right to the skull
«نزاعة للشوى» جمع شواة وهي جلدة الرأس.
Saheeh InternationalIt invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

«تدعو من أدبر وتولى» عن الإيمان بأن تقول: إليَّ إليَّ.
Saheeh InternationalAnd collected [wealth] and hoarded
Yusuf AliAnd collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)
«وجمع» المال «فأوعي» أمسكه في وعائه ولم يؤد حق الله منه.
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, mankind was created anxious
Yusuf AliTruly man was created very impatient
«إن الإنسان خلق هلوعا» حال مقدرة وتفسيره.
Saheeh InternationalWhen evil touches him, impatient
Yusuf AliFretful when evil touches him
«إذا مسه الشر جزوعا» وقت مس الشر.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when good touches him, withholding [of it]
Yusuf AliAnd niggardly when good reaches him

Saheeh InternationalExcept the observers of prayer
Yusuf AliNot so those devoted to Prayer
«إلا المصلين» أي المؤمنين.

Saheeh InternationalAnd those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord
Yusuf AliAnd those who fear the displeasure of their Lord
«والذين هم من عذاب ربهم مشفقون» خائفون.
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe
Yusuf AliFor their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity
«إن عذاب ربهم غير مأمون» نزوله.
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who guard their private parts
Yusuf AliAnd those who guard their chastity
«والذين هم لفروجهم حافظون».
Saheeh InternationalExcept from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed
Yusuf AliExcept with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed
«إلا على أزواجهم أو ما ملكت أيمانهم» من الإماء «فإنهم غير ملومين».
Saheeh InternationalBut whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors
Yusuf AliBut those who trespass beyond this are transgressors
«فمن ابتغى وراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادون» المتجاوزون الحلال إلى الحرام.
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who are to their trusts and promises attentive
Yusuf AliAnd those who respect their trusts and covenants
«والذين هم لأماناتهم» وفي قراءة بالإفراد: ما ائْتُمِنوا عليه من أمر الدين والدنيا «وعهدهم» المأخوذ عليهم في ذلك «راعون» حافظون.
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who are in their testimonies upright

Saheeh InternationalAnd those who [carefully] maintain their prayer

«والذين هم على صلاتهم يحافظون» بأدائها في أوقاتها.
Saheeh InternationalThey will be in gardens, honored
Yusuf AliSuch will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss)
«أولئك في جنات مكرمون».
Saheeh InternationalSo what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad]
Yusuf AliNow what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee
«فمال الذين كفروا قبلك» نحوك «مهطعين» حال، أي مديمي النظر.
Saheeh International[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups
Yusuf AliFrom the right and from the left, in crowds
«عن اليمين وعن الشمال» منك «عزين» حال أيضا، أي جماعات حلقا حلقا، يقولون استهزاء بالمؤمنين: لئن دخل هؤلاء الجنة لندخلنها قبلهم قال تعالى:
Saheeh InternationalDoes every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure
Yusuf AliDoes every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss
«أيطمع كل امرىءٍ منهم أن يدخل جنة نعيم».
Saheeh InternationalNo! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know
Yusuf AliBy no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know
«كلا» ردع لهم عن طمعهم في الجنة «إنا خلقناهم» كغيرهم «مما يعلمون» من نطف فلا يطمع بذلك في الجنة وإنما يطمع فيها بالتقوى.
Saheeh InternationalSo I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
Yusuf AliNow I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly
«فلا» لا زائدة «أقسم برب المشارق والمغارب» للشمس والقمر وسائر الكواكب «إنا لقادرون».
Saheeh InternationalTo replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone
Yusuf AliSubstitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan)
«على أن نبدل» نأتي بدلهم «خيرا منهم وما نحن بمسبوقين» بعاجزين عن ذلك.
Saheeh InternationalSo leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised
Yusuf AliSo leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised
«فذرهم» اتركهم «يخوضوا» في باطلهم «ويلعبوا» في دنياهم «حتى يلاقوا» يلقوا «يومهم الذي يوعدون» فيه العذاب.
Saheeh InternationalThe Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening
Yusuf AliThe Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them)
«يوم يخرجون من الأجداث» القبور «سراعا» إلى المحشر «كأنهم إلى نَصْبِ» وفي قراءة بضم الحرفين، شيء منصوب كعلم أو راية «يوفضون» يسرعون.
Saheeh InternationalTheir eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised
Yusuf AliTheir eyes lowered in dejection,- ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they are promised
«خاشعة» ذليلة «أبصارهم ترهقهم» تغشاهم «ذلة ذلك اليوم الذي كانوا يوعدون» ذلك مبتدأ وما بعده الخبر ومعناه يوم القيامة.
