وَما أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

I ask for no reward from you; my recompense is only from the Lord of the worlds.

أَتُترَكونَ في ما هاهُنا آمِنينَ

Won’t you be secure in this?

في جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ

In gardens and springs?

وَزُروعٍ وَنَخلٍ طَلعُها هَضيمٌ

In fields and palm trees with tender and delicate shoots?

وَتَنحِتونَ مِنَ الجِبالِ بُيوتًا فارِهينَ

In skillfully carved homes within the mountains?

وَلا تُطيعوا أَمرَ المُسرِفينَ

And don’t obey the command of the extravagant.

الَّذينَ يُفسِدونَ فِي الأَرضِ وَلا يُصلِحونَ

Those who spread corruption in the land and don’t reform.”

قالوا إِنَّما أَنتَ مِنَ المُسَحَّرينَ

They replied, “You are under an enchantment.

ما أَنتَ إِلّا بَشَرٌ مِثلُنا فَأتِ بِآيَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّادِقينَ

You are just a human like us; so bring a sign, if you are truthful.”

قالَ هـٰذِهِ ناقَةٌ لَها شِربٌ وَلَكُم شِربُ يَومٍ مَعلومٍ

He said, “This is a she-camel. She has her turn of drinking, and you have yours—each on a known day.
