[Machine] "He used to say, 'Has Al-Hamra' appeared?' When he saw it, he would say, 'No welcome.' Then he would say, 'Indeed, two angels, Harut and Marut, ask Allah, the Exalted, to descend to the Earth, so they descended to the Earth and settled among the people. After the evening, they would speak with words and ascend with them to the heavens. Allah had appointed for them a woman from the best of people, and desire was cast upon them, but they resisted it. Then it was cast within themselves, and they continued to engage in it until the appointed time. When it came, they came for the appointed time. She said, 'Teach me the word that enables you to ascend to the heavens.' They taught her the word, and she spoke it and ascended to the heavens, but she was transformed and became as you see. After the evening, they would speak with the word that enabled them to ascend to the heavens, but they could not ascend. It was sent to them, 'If you wish, you may choose the punishment of the Hereafter, and if you wish, you may choose the punishment of the worldly life.' They would remain until the Hour is established upon their meeting Allah, the Exalted. If He wills, He will punish them, and if He wills, He will be merciful to them.' One of them looked at his companion and said, 'We will choose the punishment of the worldly life, a thousand times greater.' So they were both punished until the Hour is established."
