And set forth

to them

an example

(of the) companions

(of) the city

when

came to it

the Messengers

When

We sent

to them

two (Messengers)

but they denied both of them

so We strengthened them

with a third

and they said

Indeed, We

to you

(are) Messengers

They said

Not

you

(are) but

human beings

like us

and not

has revealed

the Most Gracious

any

thing

Not

you

(are) but

lying

They said

Our Lord

knows

that we

to you

(are) surely Messengers

And not

(is) on us

except

the conveyance

clear

They said

Indeed, we

[we] see an evil omen

from you

If

not

you desist

surely, we will stone you

and surely will touch you

from us

a punishment

painful

They said

Your evil omen

(be) with you

Is it because

you are admonished

Nay

you

(are) a people

transgressing

And came

from

(the) farthest end

(of) the city

a man

running

He said

O my People

Follow

the Messengers

Follow

(those) who

(do) not

ask (of) you

any payment

and they

(are) rightly guided

And what

(is) for me

(that) not

I worship

the One Who

created me

and to Whom

you will be returned

Should I take

besides Him

besides Him

gods

If

intends for me

the Most Gracious

any harm

not

will avail

[from] me

their intercession

(in) anything

and not

they (can) save me

Indeed, I

then

surely would be in

an error

clear

Indeed, I

[I] have believed

in your Lord

so listen to me

It was said

Enter

Paradise

He said

I wish

my people

knew

Of how

has forgiven

me

my Lord

and placed me

among

the honored ones
