لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَـٰطِـُٔونَ ﴿٣٧﴾
69:37 "Which none do eat But those in sin."
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾
69:38 So I do Call to witness What ye see

69:39 And what ye see not,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿٤٠﴾
69:40 That this is Verily the word Of an honoured apostle;
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٤١﴾
69:41 It is not the word Of a poet: Little it is Ye believe!
وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾
69:42 Nor is it the word Of a soothsayer: Little admonition it is Ye receive.
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٤٣﴾
69:43 (This is) a Message Sent down from the Lord Of the Worlds.
وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ ﴿٤٤﴾
69:44 And if the apostle Were to invent Any sayings in Our name,
لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٤٥﴾
69:45 We should certainly seize him By his right hand,
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾
69:46 And We should certainly Then cut off the artery Of his heart:
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَـٰجِزِينَ ﴿٤٧﴾
69:47 Nor could any of you Withhold him (From Our wrath).
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٤٨﴾
69:48 But verily this Is a Message for The God-fearing.
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾
69:49 And We certainly know That there are amongst you Those that reject (it).
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿٥٠﴾
69:50 But truly (Revelation) Is a cause of sorrow For the Unbelievers.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٥١﴾
69:51 But verily it is Truth Of assured certainty.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٥٢﴾
69:52 So glorify the name Of thy Lord Most High.
