“And what made thee hasten from thy people, O Moses?”
وَمَٓا اَعْجَلَكَ عَنْ قَوْمِكَ يَا مُوسٰى
Wama aAAjalaka AAan qawmika yamoosa
Said he: “They were close, in my footsteps, so I hastened to Thee, my Lord, that Thou be pleased.”
قَالَ هُمْ اُو۬لَٓاءِ عَلٰٓى اَثَر۪ي وَعَجِلْتُ اِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضٰى
Qala hum ola-i AAalaatharee waAAajiltu ilayka rabbi litarda
He said: “We have subjected thy people to means of denial in thy absence, and the Sāmiriyy has led them astray.”
قَالَ فَاِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ وَاَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِيُّ
Qala fa-inna qad fatannaqawmaka min baAAdika waadallahumu assamiriy
So Moses returned to his people, wrathful and grieved. He said: “O my people: did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Was the covenant long in coming for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord should descend upon you, so failed in your promise to me?”
فَرَجَعَ مُوسٰٓى اِلٰى قَوْمِه۪ غَضْبَانَ اَسِفاًۚ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْداً حَسَناًۜ اَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَهْدُ اَمْ اَرَدْتُمْ اَنْ يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُمْ مَوْعِد۪ي

They said: “We failed not to keep our promise to thee of our own accord, but we were given to bear burdens of the adornment of the people — so we hurled them. (And thus the Sāmiriyy cast,
قَالُوا مَٓا اَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْـنَٓا اَوْزَاراً مِنْ ز۪ينَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَاهَا فَكَذٰلِكَ اَلْقَى السَّامِرِيُّۙ

And he brought forth for them a calf as a body that lowed; and they said: “This is your god, and the god of Moses, but he forgot.”
فَاَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلاً جَسَداً لَهُ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا هٰذَٓا اِلٰهُكُمْ وَاِلٰهُ مُوسٰى فَنَسِيَۜ

Did they then not see that it returned no word to them, nor possessed for them harm or benefit!
اَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَلَّا يَرْجِعُ اِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلاًۙ وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَراًّ وَلَا نَفْعاً۟

And Aaron had said to them before: “O my people: you are but subjected to means of denial thereby, and your Lord is the Almighty; so follow me, and obey my command.”
وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هٰرُونُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يَا قَوْمِ اِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِه۪ۚ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ فَاتَّبِعُون۪ي وَاَط۪يعُٓوا اَمْر۪ي

They said: “We will not cease to be devoted to it until Moses returns to us.”)

“From following me? Didst thou then disobey my command?”

Said he: “O son of my mother: seize thou me not by my beard, nor by my head! I feared lest thou say: ‘Thou hast caused division among the children of Israel, and hast not observed my word.’”
قَالَ يَبْنَؤُ۬مَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَت۪ي وَلَا بِرَأْس۪يۚ اِنّ۪ي خَش۪يتُ اَنْ تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْل۪ي

He said: “And what is thy case, O Sāmiriyy?”
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَا سَامِرِيُّ
Qala fama khatbuka yasamiriy
Said he: “I saw what they saw not; so I took a handful from the track of the Messenger, and did throw it; and thus my soul enticed me.”
قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا بِه۪ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِنْ اَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ ل۪ي نَفْس۪ي

He said: “Then go thou, for in this life it is for thee to say: ‘Outcast!’ And there is for thee an appointment thou canst not fail to keep. And look thou upon thy god to which thou remainedst devoted! We will burn it; then will we scatter it in the sea with a blast.”

Your God is but God. There is no god save He. He encompasses all things in knowledge.

Thus do We relate to thee from reports of what has gone before, and have given thee a remembrance from Us.
كَذٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْـبَٓاءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَۚ وَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَاكَ مِنْ لَدُنَّا ذِكْراًۚ

The day the Trumpet is blown. And We will assemble the lawbreakers, that day, white-eyed,

Yatakhafatoona baynahum in labithtumilla AAashra
We best know what they will say, when their exemplars in the path will say: “You tarried only a day.”
نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ اِذْ يَقُولُ اَمْثَلُهُمْ طَر۪يقَةً اِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا يَوْماً۟

And they ask thee about the mountains. Say thou: “My Lord will scatter them with a blast

“And leave it a level plain.”

Thou wilt see therein neither deviation nor bend.
لَا تَرٰى ف۪يهَا عِوَجاً وَلَٓا اَمْتاً

That day will they follow the Caller having no deviation; and voices will be stilled before the Almighty, and thou wilt hear not save a murmur.
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۚ وَخَشَعَتِ الْاَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ اِلَّا هَمْساً
Yawma-ithin yattabiAAoona addaAAiyala AAiwaja lahu wakhashaAAati al-aswatu lirrahmanifala tasmaAAu illa hamsa
That day no intercession will avail save one whom the Almighty has given leave and with whose word He is pleased.

He knows what is before them and what following them, and they do not encompass it in knowledge.

And faces will be humble before the Living, the Eternal. And he will have failed who carries injustice.

And whoso does righteous deeds and is a believer: he fears neither injustice nor deprivation.

And thus have We sent it down as an Arabic recitation and expounded therein warnings, that they might be in prudent fear, or it cause in them remembrance.
وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْاٰناً عَرَبِياًّ وَصَرَّفْنَا ف۪يهِ مِنَ الْوَع۪يدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ اَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْراً

And exalted be God, the True King! And hasten thou not with the recitation before its revelation to thee be complete; and say thou: “My Lord: increase Thou me in knowledge.”
فَتَعَالَى اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّۚ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يُقْضٰٓى اِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُۘ وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْن۪ي عِلْماً

And We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.
وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَٓا اِلٰٓى اٰدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْماً۟

And when We said to the angels: “Submit to Adam,” then they submitted. Not so Iblīs; he refused.
وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُٓوا اِلَّٓا اِبْل۪يسَۜ اَبٰى

Then We said: “O Adam: this is an enemy to thee and to thy wife. Then let him not turn you out of the garden, that thou be wretched.
فَقُلْنَا يَٓا اٰدَمُ اِنَّ هٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقٰى

“It is for thee to be neither hungry nor naked therein,

“And that thou suffer neither thirst therein, nor the heat of the sun.”
وَاَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُ۬ا ف۪يهَا وَلَا تَضْحٰى

Then the satan whispered to him, saying: “O Adam: shall I direct thee to the Tree of Eternity and a dominion that decays not?”
فَوَسْوَسَ اِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ يَٓا اٰدَمُ هَلْ اَدُلُّكَ عَلٰى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَا يَبْلٰى

And they ate thereof, and their shame became clear to them; and they began to draw over them of the leaves of the garden; and Adam opposed his Lord, so he erred.
فَاَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْاٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِۘ وَعَصٰٓى اٰدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوٰىۖ

He said: “Get you down from it all together, an enemy to one another. And if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoso follows My guidance, he will neither go astray, nor will he be wretched.
قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَم۪يعاً بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّۚ فَاِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنّ۪ي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّـبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقٰى

And thus do We reward him who commits excess, and believes not in the proofs of his Lord; and the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.

Does it not then guide them how many generations We destroyed before them in whose dwellings they walk? In that are proofs for possessors of intelligence.

So be thou patient over what they say, and give thou glory with the praise of thy Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting. And some periods of the night give thou glory; and at the ends of the day, that thou mightest be satisfied.
فَاصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَاۚ وَمِنْ اٰنَٓائِ الَّيْلِ فَسَبِّـحْ وَاَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضٰى

And extend thou not thine eyes towards what We have granted some among them to enjoy — the flower of the life of this world — that We might subject them to means of denial therein; and the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِه۪ٓ اَزْوَاجاً مِنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ ف۪يهِۜ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَاَبْقٰى

And they say: “Oh, that he would but bring us a proof from his Lord!” Has there not come to them clear evidence of what is in the former scriptures?
وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا يَأْت۪ينَا بِاٰيَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ اَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِمْ بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي الصُّحُفِ الْاُو۫لٰى

وَلَوْ اَنَّٓا اَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ لَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَٓا اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَيْنَا رَسُولاً فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰيَاتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَذِلَّ وَنَخْزٰى
