قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ

A speaker from them will say, “I had a companion (in the worldly life)


يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

who used to say (to me), “Are you one of those who believe?


أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

Is it when we have died and become dust and bones? Is it true that we are going to be recompensed (for our deeds)?”


قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

He (the speaker) will say (to other people in Paradise) “Would you like to have a look (at Jahannam to find out what happened to that companion of mine)?”


فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

So he will look and will see him in the middle of Jahannam.


قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ

He (the speaker) will say (to his companion seen in Jahannam ), “By Allah, you were going almost to ruin me.


وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ

But for the favor of my Lord, I would have been among those produced for punishment.”
