فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِحِينَ
﴿۲۱﴾
(Then) in the morning they called out to one another, saying: (۲۱)
أَنِ اغْدُوا عَلَى حَرْثِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمِينَ
﴿۲۲﴾
'Come out to your tillage if you want to reap! ' (۲۲)
فَانْطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَ
﴿۲۳﴾
And so they departed, whispering to one another: (۲۳)
أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِسْكِينٌ
﴿۲۴﴾
'No needy person shall set foot in it today. ' (۲۴)
وَغَدَوْا عَلَى حَرْدٍ قَادِرِينَ
﴿۲۵﴾
And they went out early, determined in their resolve. (۲۵)
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوا إِنَّا لَضَالُّونَ
﴿۲۶﴾
But when they saw it they said: 'We have surely gone astray. (۲۶)
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
﴿۲۷﴾
No, rather, we have been prevented! ' (۲۷)
قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ
﴿۲۸﴾
(Whereupon) the best among them said: 'Did I not say to you to exalt (Allah)? ' (۲۸)
قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
﴿۲۹﴾
'Exaltations to Allah, our Lord, ' they said, 'We were truly harmdoers. ' (۲۹)
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَاوَمُونَ
﴿۳۰﴾
And they came blaming one another. (۳۰)
