سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ

(68:16) Soon shall We brand him on his snout.1


إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَيَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِينَ

(68:17) We have put them [i.e., the Makkans] to test even as We put to test
the owners of the orchard2 when they vowed that they would gather
the fruit of their orchard in the morning,


وَلَا يَسۡتَثۡنُونَ

(68:18) without making any allowance (for the will of Allah).3


فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ

(68:19) Thereupon a calamity from your Lord passed over it while they were
asleep,


فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ

(68:20) and so by morning the orchard lay as though it had been fully harvested.


فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ

(68:21) At daybreak they called out to one another:


أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ

(68:22) “Hurry to your orchard4 if you would gather its fruit.”
