Al-Muddaththir

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

(21) Then he considered [again];

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

(22) Then he frowned and scowled;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ

(23) Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ

(24) And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ

(25) This is not but the word of a human being."

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ

(26) I will drive him into Saqar.[1793]

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

(27) And what can make you know what is Saqar?

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ

(28) It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ

(29) Altering [i.e., blackening] the skins.

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

(30) Over it are nineteen [angels].
