كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ
(70:15) By no means! It will be the fierce flame
نَزَّاعَةٗ لِّلشَّوَىٰ
(70:16) that will strip off the scalp.
تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
(70:17) It shall insistently summon him who turned his back and retreated,
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ
(70:18) and amassed wealth and covetously hoarded it.2
۞إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
(70:19) Verily man is impatient by nature:3
إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعٗا
(70:20) bewailing when evil befalls him,
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا
(70:21) and tight-fisted when good fortune visits him,
إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ
(70:22) except those that pray,4
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ
(70:23) and are constant in their Prayer;5
