Al-Qálam 68:9 ودوا لو تدهن فيدهنون ٩

1. Nũn. By the pen and what everyone writes! 2. By the grace of your Lord, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not insane. 3. You will certainly have a never-ending reward. 4. And you are truly ˹a man˺ of outstanding character. 5. Soon you and the pagans will see, 6. which of you is mad. 7. Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided. 8. So do not give in to the deniers. 9. They wish you would compromise so they would yield ˹to you˺. 10. And do not obey the despicable, vain oath-taker, 11. slanderer, gossip-monger, 12. withholder of good, transgressor, evildoer, 13. brute, and—on top of all that—an illegitimate child. 14. Now, ˹simply˺ because he has been blessed with ˹abundant˺ wealth and children, 15. whenever Our revelations are recited to him, he says, “Ancient fables!” 16. We will soon mark his snout.
