وَٱلۡعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبۡحٗا
By the chargers and their auditory sensation,
Makkan · 11 ayat · 14th in order of revelation
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلۡعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبۡحٗا
By the chargers and their auditory sensation,
فَٱلۡمُورِيَٰتِ قَدۡحٗا
Followed by sparks of fire striking,
فَٱلۡمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبۡحٗا
Followed by early morning attacks,
فَأَثَرۡنَ بِهِۦ نَقۡعٗا
Thereby raising clouds of dust,
فَوَسَطۡنَ بِهِۦ جَمۡعًا
Thereby breaking into the center of any military assembly [of forces] —
إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٞ
Verily, toward his Sustainer the social being is insubordinate,
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٞ
And to this, behold, he [himself] bears witness indeed:
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
For, verily, he is infatuated with extreme love of material possessions.
۞ أَفَلَا يَعۡلَمُ إِذَا بُعۡثِرَ مَا فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ
But does he lack the knowledge of [a Day when] graves are agitated [and their occupants emerge],
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ
And [when] the contents of the bosoms are compiled —
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّخَبِيرُۢ
On that Day, indisputably their Sustainer is fully aware of them [and what they did].
