فَكانَ قابَ قَوسَينِ أَو أَدنىٰ

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

فَأَوحىٰ إِلىٰ عَبدِهِ ما أَوحىٰ

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.

ما كَذَبَ الفُؤادُ ما رَأىٰ

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.

أَفَتُمارونَهُ عَلىٰ ما يَرىٰ

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

وَلَقَد رَآهُ نَزلَةً أُخرىٰ

And he certainly saw him in another descent

عِندَها جَنَّةُ المَأوىٰ

Near it is the Garden of Refuge -

إِذ يَغشَى السِّدرَةَ ما يَغشىٰ

When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].

ما زاغَ البَصَرُ وَما طَغىٰ

The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].

لَقَد رَأىٰ مِن آياتِ رَبِّهِ الكُبرىٰ

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

أَفَرَأَيتُمُ اللّاتَ وَالعُزّىٰ

So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza?
