Al-Muddaththir

عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

(41) About the criminals,

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ

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

قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

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

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ

(44) Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ

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

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

(46) And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ

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

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ

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

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ

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

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ

(50) As if they were alarmed donkeys
