لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ
touched by none except the purified ˹angels˺.1
تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds.
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ
How can you then take this message lightly,
وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ
and repay ˹Allah for˺ your provisions with denial?1
فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ
Why then ˹are you helpless˺ when the soul ˹of a dying person˺ reaches ˹their˺ throat,
وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ
while you are looking on?
وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ
And We are nearer to such a person than you, but you cannot see.
فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ
Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺,
تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
bring that soul back, if what you say is true.
