15. Sūrat al-Ḥijr
١٥۔ سُورَةُ الحِجْر
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَنْ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." ˹Abraham˺ said, "Indeed, we are fearful of you."
إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنْكُمْ وَجِلُونَ
˹The angels˺ said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."
قَالُوا لَا تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ
He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what ˹wonder˺ do you inform?"
قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِي عَلَىٰ أَنْ مَسَّنِيَ الْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ
They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."
قَالُوا بَشَّرْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُنْ مِنَ الْقَانِطِينَ
He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
قَالَ وَمَنْ يَقْنَطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّهِ إِلَّا الضَّالُّونَ
˹Abraham˺ said, "Then what is your business ˹here˺, O messengers?"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,
قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُجْرِمِينَ
إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.
إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ
