Chapter 53, Page 526, Juz 27

1. By the star when it sets: 2. your companion has neither strayed nor is he deluded; 3. nor does he speak out of his desire. 4. This is nothing but a revelation that is conveyed to him, 5. something that a very powerful one has imparted to him, 6. one endowed with immense wisdom. He came forth and stood poised, 7. being on the higher horizon. 8. Then he drew near and hung above suspended, 9. until he was two bows' length away, or nearer. 10. Then he revealed to Allah's servant whatever he had to reveal. 11. His heart added no untruth to what he saw. 12. Are you, then, going to contend with him regarding what he sees with his eyes? 13. Indeed he saw him a second time, 14. by the lote-tree at the farthest boundary, 15. near which is the Garden of Abode. 16. (This was) when the lote-tree was covered with that which covered it. 17. His eye did not waver, nor did it stray, 18. and he certainly saw some of the greatest Signs of His Lord.
