By the star when it descends, ^[1]

Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred, ^[2]

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. ^[3]

It is not but a revelation revealed, ^[4]

Taught to him by one intense in strength - ^[5]

One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form ^[6]

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon. ^[7]

Then he approached and descended ^[8]

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer. ^[9]

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed. ^[10]

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw. ^[11]

So will you dispute with him over what he saw? ^[12]

And he certainly saw him in another descent ^[13]

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary - ^[14]

Near it is the Garden of Refuge - ^[15]

When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it]. ^[16]

The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit]. ^[17]

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord. ^[18]

So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza? ^[19]

And Manat, the third - the other one? ^[20]
