About the criminals, ^[41]

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?" ^[42]

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed, ^[43]

Nor did we used to feed the poor. ^[44]

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it], ^[45]

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense ^[46]

Until there came to us the certainty." ^[47]

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors. ^[48]

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away ^[49]

As if they were alarmed donkeys ^[50]

Fleeing from a lion? ^[51]

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about. ^[52]

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter. ^[53]

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder ^[54]

Then whoever wills will remember it. ^[55]

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness. ^[56]
