۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ
Or created We the angels females while they were present?
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
