And made no exception (for the Will of Allah).


فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ

Then a (destructive) visitation from your Lord visited (Literally: went around it) it while they were sleeping,


فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ

So (in the morning) it became as if it were a garden wrested away.


فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ

Then in the (early) morning they called out to one another,


أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ

(Saying), "Go forth early upon your tillage, in case you would wrest away (the fruit)!"


فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ

So they went off, speaking together in hushed voices,


أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ

(Saying), "Definitely no indigent person shall enter it today against you."


وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدٖ قَٰدِرِينَ

And they went forth early, determined on interdiction.


فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ

Then, as soon as they saw it, they said, "Surely we are indeed erring (people).
