Surah Al-'Adiyat

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا

By the horses that run, panting,

Pickthall (1930): By the snorting coursers,

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا

striking sparks with their hooves,

Pickthall (1930): Striking sparks of fire

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا

charging at dawn,

Pickthall (1930): And scouring to the raid at dawn,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا

raising clouds of dust,

Pickthall (1930): Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا

and plunging into the midst of a crowd.

Pickthall (1930): Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

and he himself bears witness to this,

Pickthall (1930): And lo! he is a witness unto that;

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

and he is intense in his love of wealth.

Pickthall (1930): And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

Does he not know that when what is in the graves is brought out,

Pickthall (1930): Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ

and what is in the hearts is laid bare,

Pickthall (1930): And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ

on that Day their Lord will be fully aware of them?

Pickthall (1930): On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.
