and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female, (45)

from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), (46)

and that upon Him is the second creation (47)

and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, (48)

and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius, (49)

that it was He that destroyed ancient Aad (50)

and Thamood, sparing no one, (51)

and before them the nation of Noah, they exceeded in evil and were insolent. (52)

He plunged the villages (53)

so that there came upon them that which came. (54)
