وَما عَلَينا إِلَّا البَلاغُ المُبينُ

And we are not responsible except for clear notification."

قالوا إِنّا تَطَيَّرنا بِكُم ۖ لَئِن لَم تَنتَهوا لَنَرجُمَنَّكُم وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِنّا عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."

قالوا طائِرُكُم مَعَكُم ۚ أَئِن ذُكِّرتُم ۚ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ مُسرِفونَ

They said, "Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."

وَجاءَ مِن أَقصَى المَدينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسعىٰ قالَ يا قَومِ اتَّبِعُوا المُرسَلينَ

And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.

اتَّبِعوا مَن لا يَسأَلُكُم أَجرًا وَهُم مُهتَدونَ

Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.

أَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دونِهِ آلِهَةً إِن يُرِدنِ الرَّحمـٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لا تُغنِ عَنّي شَفاعَتُهُم شَيئًا وَلا يُنقِذونِ

Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

إِنّي إِذًا لَفي ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ

Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.

إِنّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُم فَاسمَعونِ

Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."

قيلَ ادخُلِ الجَنَّةَ ۖ قالَ يا لَيتَ قَومي يَعلَمونَ

It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know

بِما غَفَرَ لي رَبّي وَجَعَلَني مِنَ المُكرَمينَ

Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."
