فَلَيْسَلَهُٱلْيَوْمَهَـٰهُنَاحَمِيمٌۭ٣٥

So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

None will eat it except the sinners.

So I swear by what you see

And what you do not see

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the word of a noble Messenger.

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

And if he [i.e., Muḥammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

We would have seized him by the right hand;¹

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.¹

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder for the righteous.

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen¹

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

So be patient with gracious patience.

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

But We see it [as] near.

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,¹

And the mountains will be like wool,¹

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,
