إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعٗا
he is fretful when misfortune touches him,
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا
but tight-fisted when good fortune comes his way.
إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ
Not so those who pray
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ
and are constant in their prayers;
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
who give a due share of their wealth
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ
to beggars and the deprived;
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
who believe in the Day of Judgement
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ
and fear the punishment of their Lord––
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونٖ
none may feel wholly secure from it––
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ
who guard their chastity
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ
from all but their spouses or their slave-girls––there is no blame attached to [relations with] these,
