Nūn. By the pen and what they inscribe,

You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.
3
وَإِنَّلَكَلَأَجْرًاغَيْرَمَمْنُونٍۢ٣
And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.
4
وَإِنَّكَلَعَلَىٰخُلُقٍعَظِيمٍۢ٤

فَسَتُبْصِرُوَيُبْصِرُونَ٥
So you will see and they will see
6
بِأَييِّكُمُٱلْمَفْتُونُ٦
Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].
7
إِنَّرَبَّكَهُوَأَعْلَمُبِمَنضَلَّعَنسَبِيلِهِۦوَهُوَأَعْلَمُبِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ٧
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

فَلَاتُطِعِٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٨
Then do not obey the deniers.
9
وَدُّوا۟لَوْتُدْهِنُفَيُدْهِنُونَ٩
They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].
10
وَلَاتُطِعْكُلَّحَلَّافٍۢمَّهِينٍ١٠
And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer
11
هَمَّازٍۢمَّشَّآءٍۭبِنَمِيمٍۢ١١
[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -
12
مَّنَّاعٍۢلِّلْخَيْرِمُعْتَدٍأَثِيمٍ١٢
A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,
13
عُتُلٍّۭبَعْدَذَٰلِكَزَنِيمٍ١٣
Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.
14
أَنكَانَذَامَالٍۢوَبَنِينَ١٤
Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,
15
إِذَاتُتْلَىٰعَلَيْهِءَايَـٰتُنَاقَالَأَسَـٰطِيرُٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٥
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
16
سَنَسِمُهُۥعَلَىٱلْخُرْطُومِ١٦
We will brand him upon the snout.
17
إِنَّابَلَوْنَـٰهُمْكَمَابَلَوْنَآأَصْحَـٰبَٱلْجَنَّةِإِذْأَقْسَمُوا۟لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَامُصْبِحِينَ١٧
Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning
18
وَلَايَسْتَثْنُونَ١٨
Without making exception.
19
فَطَافَعَلَيْهَاطَآئِفٌۭمِّنرَّبِّكَوَهُمْنَآئِمُونَ١٩
So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.
20
فَأَصْبَحَتْكَٱلصَّرِيمِ٢٠
And it became as though reaped.
21
فَتَنَادَوْا۟مُصْبِحِينَ٢١
And they called one another at morning,
22
أَنِٱغْدُوا۟عَلَىٰحَرْثِكُمْإِنكُنتُمْصَـٰرِمِينَ٢٢
[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."
23
فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟وَهُمْيَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ٢٣
So they set out, while lowering their voices,
24
أَنلَّايَدْخُلَنَّهَاٱلْيَوْمَعَلَيْكُممِّسْكِينٌۭ٢٤
[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."
25
وَغَدَوْا۟عَلَىٰحَرْدٍۢقَـٰدِرِينَ٢٥
And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.
26
فَلَمَّارَأَوْهَاقَالُوٓا۟إِنَّالَضَآلُّونَ٢٦
But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
27
بَلْنَحْنُمَحْرُومُونَ٢٧
Rather, we have been deprived."
28
قَالَأَوْسَطُهُمْأَلَمْأَقُللَّكُمْلَوْلَاتُسَبِّحُونَ٢٨
The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"
29
قَالُوا۟سُبْحَـٰنَرَبِّنَآإِنَّاكُنَّاظَـٰلِمِينَ٢٩
They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
30
فَأَقْبَلَبَعْضُهُمْعَلَىٰبَعْضٍۢيَتَلَـٰوَمُونَ٣٠
Then they approached one another, blaming each other.
31
قَالُوا۟يَـٰوَيْلَنَآإِنَّاكُنَّاطَـٰغِينَ٣١
They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.
32
عَسَىٰرَبُّنَآأَنيُبْدِلَنَاخَيْرًۭامِّنْهَآإِنَّآإِلَىٰرَبِّنَارَٰغِبُونَ٣٢
Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."
33
كَذَٰلِكَٱلْعَذَابُ ۖوَلَعَذَابُٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِأَكْبَرُ ۚلَوْكَانُوا۟يَعْلَمُونَ٣٣
Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
34
إِنَّلِلْمُتَّقِينَعِندَرَبِّهِمْجَنَّـٰتِٱلنَّعِيمِ٣٤
Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.
35
أَفَنَجْعَلُٱلْمُسْلِمِينَكَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ٣٥
Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?
36
مَالَكُمْكَيْفَتَحْكُمُونَ٣٦
What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?
37
أَمْلَكُمْكِتَـٰبٌۭفِيهِتَدْرُسُونَ٣٧
Or do you have a scripture in which you learn
38
إِنَّلَكُمْفِيهِلَمَاتَخَيَّرُونَ٣٨
That indeed for you is whatever you choose?
39
أَمْلَكُمْأَيْمَـٰنٌعَلَيْنَابَـٰلِغَةٌإِلَىٰيَوْمِٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۙإِنَّلَكُمْلَمَاتَحْكُمُونَ٣٩
Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?
40
سَلْهُمْأَيُّهُمبِذَٰلِكَزَعِيمٌ٤٠
Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.
41
أَمْلَهُمْشُرَكَآءُفَلْيَأْتُوا۟بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْإِنكَانُوا۟صَـٰدِقِينَ٤١
Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.
42
يَوْمَيُكْشَفُعَنسَاقٍۢوَيُدْعَوْنَإِلَىٱلسُّجُودِفَلَايَسْتَطِيعُونَ٤٢
The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,
43
خَـٰشِعَةًأَبْصَـٰرُهُمْتَرْهَقُهُمْذِلَّةٌۭ ۖوَقَدْكَانُوا۟يُدْعَوْنَإِلَىٱلسُّجُودِوَهُمْسَـٰلِمُونَ٤٣
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.
44
فَذَرْنِىوَمَنيُكَذِّبُبِهَـٰذَاٱلْحَدِيثِ ۖسَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُممِّنْحَيْثُلَايَعْلَمُونَ٤٤
So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.
45
وَأُمْلِىلَهُمْ ۚإِنَّكَيْدِىمَتِينٌ٤٥
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
46
أَمْتَسْـَٔلُهُمْأَجْرًۭافَهُممِّنمَّغْرَمٍۢمُّثْقَلُونَ٤٦
Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?
47
أَمْعِندَهُمُٱلْغَيْبُفَهُمْيَكْتُبُونَ٤٧
Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?
48
فَٱصْبِرْلِحُكْمِرَبِّكَوَلَاتَكُنكَصَاحِبِٱلْحُوتِإِذْنَادَىٰوَهُوَمَكْظُومٌۭ٤٨
Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.
49
لَّوْلَآأَنتَدَٰرَكَهُۥنِعْمَةٌۭمِّنرَّبِّهِۦلَنُبِذَبِٱلْعَرَآءِوَهُوَمَذْمُومٌۭ٤٩
If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.
50
فَٱجْتَبَـٰهُرَبُّهُۥفَجَعَلَهُۥمِنَٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ٥٠
And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.
51
وَإِنيَكَادُٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟لَيُزْلِقُونَكَبِأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْلَمَّاسَمِعُوا۟ٱلذِّكْرَوَيَقُولُونَإِنَّهُۥلَمَجْنُونٌۭ٥١
And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
52
وَمَاهُوَإِلَّاذِكْرٌۭلِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ٥٢
But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
