38. Sūrat Ṣād
٣٨۔ سُورَةُ ص
And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."
وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ
˹So he was told˺, "Strike ˹the ground˺ with your foot; this is a ˹spring for˺ a cool bath and drink."
ارْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ ۖ هَٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ
And We granted him his family and a like ˹number˺ with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding.
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِنَّا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ
˹We said˺, "And take in your hand a bunch ˹of grass˺ and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back ˹to Allah˺.
وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَاضْرِبْ بِهِ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ ۗ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَاهُ صَابِرًا ۚ نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ
And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and ˹religious˺ vision.
وَاذْكُرْ عِبَادَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أُولِي الْأَيْدِي وَالْأَبْصَارِ
Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home ˹of the Hereafter˺.
إِنَّا أَخْلَصْنَاهُمْ بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى الدَّارِ
And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding.
وَإِنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا لَمِنَ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ الْأَخْيَارِ
And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.
وَاذْكُرْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّ مِنَ الْأَخْيَارِ
