'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)

'Exaltations to Allah, our Lord, ' they said, 'We were truly harmdoers. ' (29)

And they came blaming one another. (30)

They said 'Woe to us, truly we were insolent! ' (31)

It may be that our Lord will give us better than it in exchange. To our Lord we humbly turn. ' (32)

Such was their punishment. But the punishment of the Everlasting Life is much greater, if they but knew. (33)
