Sura 37: AS-SAAFFAT (THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS) - Juz' 23 - Translation Pickthall

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ ﴿۱۴۱﴾
And then drew lots and was of those rejected; (141)
فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ﴿۱۴۲﴾
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy; (142)
فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ ﴿۱۴۳﴾
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah) (143)
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿۱۴۴﴾
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised; (144)
فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ ﴿۱۴۵﴾
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; (145)
وَأَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْطِينٍ ﴿۱۴۶﴾
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; (146)
وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ﴿۱۴۷﴾
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more (147)
فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ ﴿۱۴۸﴾
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while. (148)
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ ﴿۱۴۹﴾
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons? (149)
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ ﴿۱۵۰﴾
Or created We the angels females while they were present? (150)
