The companions of the thicket denied the messengers  

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ  

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?  

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ  

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.  

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ  

So fear Allah and obey me.  

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ  

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.  

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ  

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.  

أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ  

And weigh with an even balance.  

وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ  

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.  

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ  

And fear He who created you and the former creation."  

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ  

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.  

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ  

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.  

وَمَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُنَا وَإِنْ نَظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ  

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."  

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ  

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."  

قَالَ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ  

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.  

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ  

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.  

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ  

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.  

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
