74. Surah Al-Muddaththir – Verses 41–56

About the criminals,

— Saheeh International

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

— Saheeh International

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

— Saheeh International

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

— Saheeh International

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

— Saheeh International

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

— Saheeh International

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

— Saheeh International

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

— Saheeh International

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away.

— Saheeh International

As if they were alarmed donkeys.

— Saheeh International

Fleeing from a lion?

— Saheeh International

Rather, every person among them desires that he1 would be given scriptures spread about.2

— Saheeh International

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

— Saheeh International

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder.

— Saheeh International

Then whoever wills will remember it.

— Saheeh International

And they will not remember except that Allāh wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.

— Saheeh International
