ما ضَلَّ صاحِبُكُم وَما غَوىٰ

Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

وَما يَنطِقُ عَنِ الهَوىٰ

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

إِن هُوَ إِلّا وَحيٌ يوحىٰ

It is not but a revelation revealed,

عَلَّمَهُ شَديدُ القُوىٰ

Taught to him by one intense in strength -

ذو مِرَّةٍ فَاستَوىٰ

One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form

ثُمَّ دَنا فَتَدَلّىٰ

Then he approached and descended

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?
