فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ

Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept


فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ

And in the morning it was as if plucked.


فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ

And they cried out one unto another in the morning,


أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ

Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit).


فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ

So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones:


أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ

No needy man shall enter it to-day against you.


وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدٖ قَٰدِرِينَ

They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose.


فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ

But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error!


بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

Nay, but we are desolate!


قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ

The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah)?
