قالَ فَما خَطبُكَ يا سامِرِيُّ

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?"

قالَ بَصُرتُ بِما لَم يَبصُروا بِهِ فَقَبَضتُ قَبضَةً مِن أَثَرِ الرَّسولِ فَنَبَذتُها وَكَذٰلِكَ سَوَّلَت لي نَفسي

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me."

قالَ فَاذهَب فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي الحَياةِ أَن تَقولَ لا مِساسَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوعِدًا لَن تُخلَفَهُ ۖ وَانظُر إِلىٰ إِلـٰهِكَ الَّذي ظَلتَ عَلَيهِ عاكِفًا ۖ لَنُحَرِّقَنَّهُ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُ فِي اليَمِّ نَسفًا

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast.

إِنَّما إِلـٰهُكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذي لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ عِلمًا

Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."

كَذٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيكَ مِن أَنباءِ ما قَد سَبَقَ ۚ وَقَد آتَيناكَ مِن لَدُنّا ذِكرًا

Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an.

خالِدينَ فيهِ ۖ وَساءَ لَهُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ حِملًا

[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -

يَومَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصّورِ ۚ وَنَحشُرُ المُجرِمينَ يَومَئِذٍ زُرقًا

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.

يَتَخافَتونَ بَينَهُم إِن لَبِثتُم إِلّا عَشرًا

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."

نَحنُ أَعلَمُ بِما يَقولونَ إِذ يَقولُ أَمثَلُهُم طَريقَةً إِن لَبِثتُم إِلّا يَومًا

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day."

وَيَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ الجِبالِ فَقُل يَنسِفُها رَبّي نَسفًا

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.
