فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ

(68:23) So off they went, whispering to one another:


أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ

(68:24) “No destitute person shall enter it today.”


وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدٖ قَٰدِرِينَ

(68:25) They went forth early, believing that they had the power (to gather
the fruit).5


فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ

(68:26) But as soon as they beheld the orchard, (they cried out): “We have
certainly lost the way;


بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

(68:27) rather, we are utterly ruined.”6


قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ

(68:28) The best among them said: “Did I not say to you: why do you not give
glory to (your Lord)?”7


قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

(68:29) They cried out: “Glory be to our Lord! Certainly we were sinners.”
