وَأَنَّهُۥ
كَانَ
رِجَالٞ
مِّنَ
ٱلۡإِنسِ
يَعُوذُونَ
بِرِجَالٖ
مِّنَ
ٱلۡجِنِّ
فَزَادُوهُمۡ

ٱللَّهُ
أَحَدٗا

And those ˹humans˺ thought, just like you ˹jinn˺, that Allah would not resurrect anyone ˹for judgment˺.
وَأَنَّا
لَمَسۡنَا
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
فَوَجَدۡنَٰهَا
مُلِئَتۡ
حَرَسٗا
شَدِيدٗا
وَشُهُبٗا

وَأَنَّا
كُنَّا
نَقۡعُدُ
مِنۡهَا
مَقَٰعِدَ
لِلسَّمۡعِۖ
فَمَن
يَسۡتَمِعِ
ٱلۡأٓنَ
يَجِدۡ
لَهُۥ
شِهَابٗا
رَّصَدٗا
