Then, a visitation from your Lord came down upon it while they slept, (19)

and in the morning it was if the garden had been reaped. (20)

(Then) in the morning they called out to one another, saying: (21)

'Come out to your tillage if you want to reap! ' (22)

And so they departed, whispering to one another: (23)

'No needy person shall set foot in it today. ' (24)

And they went out early, determined in their resolve. (25)

But when they saw it they said: 'We have surely gone astray. (26)

No, rather, we have been prevented! ' (27)

(Whereupon) the best among them said: 'Did I not say to you to exalt (Allah)? ' (28)
