فَالتَقَمَهُ الحوتُ وَهُوَ مُليمٌ

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

فَلَولا أَنَّهُ كانَ مِنَ المُسَبِّحينَ

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,

لَلَبِثَ في بَطنِهِ إِلىٰ يَومِ يُبعَثونَ

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

فَنَبَذناهُ بِالعَراءِ وَهُوَ سَقيمٌ

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

وَأَنبَتنا عَلَيهِ شَجَرَةً مِن يَقطينٍ

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

فَآمَنوا فَمَتَّعناهُم إِلىٰ حينٍ

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

فَاستَفتِهِم أَلِرَبِّكَ البَناتُ وَلَهُمُ البَنونَ

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

أَم خَلَقنَا المَلائِكَةَ إِناثًا وَهُم شاهِدونَ

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

أَلا إِنَّهُم مِن إِفكِهِم لَيَقولونَ

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ

" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.
