أَأُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ الذِّكرُ مِن بَينِنا ۚ بَل هُم في شَكٍّ مِن ذِكري ۖ بَل لَمّا يَذوقوا عَذابِ

Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.

أَم عِندَهُم خَزائِنُ رَحمَةِ رَبِّكَ العَزيزِ الوَهّابِ

Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?

أَم لَهُم مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ فَليَرتَقوا فِي الأَسبابِ

Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access.

جُندٌ ما هُنالِكَ مَهزومٌ مِنَ الأَحزابِ

[They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers].

كَذَّبَت قَبلَهُم قَومُ نوحٍ وَعادٌ وَفِرعَونُ ذُو الأَوتادِ

The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,

إِن كُلٌّ إِلّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقابِ

Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.

وَما يَنظُرُ هـٰؤُلاءِ إِلّا صَيحَةً واحِدَةً ما لَها مِن فَواقٍ

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.

وَقالوا رَبَّنا عَجِّل لَنا قِطَّنا قَبلَ يَومِ الحِسابِ

And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account"

اصبِر عَلىٰ ما يَقولونَ وَاذكُر عَبدَنا داوودَ ذَا الأَيدِ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوّابٌ

Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allah].

إِنّا سَخَّرنَا الجِبالَ مَعَهُ يُسَبِّحنَ بِالعَشِيِّ وَالإِشراقِ

Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise.
