أَم عِندَهُمُ الغَيبُ فَهُم يَكتُبونَ

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

فَاصبِر لِحُكمِ رَبِّكَ وَلا تَكُن كَصاحِبِ الحوتِ إِذ نادىٰ وَهُوَ مَكظومٌ

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.

لَولا أَن تَدارَكَهُ نِعمَةٌ مِن رَبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالعَراءِ وَهُوَ مَذمومٌ

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

فَاجتَباهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

وَإِن يَكادُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَيُزلِقونَكَ بِأَبصارِهِم لَمّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكرَ وَيَقولونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجنونٌ

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
