سُورَةُ المُدَّثِّرِ

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

Then he considered [again];

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

Then he frowned and scowled;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ

This is not but the word of a human being."

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ

I will drive him into Saqar.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ

Blackening the skins.

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

Over it are nineteen [angels].
