فَلَا تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ
8. Then do not obey the deniers.
وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ
9. They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].
وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَهِينٍ
10. And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer
كَذَٰلِكَ الْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
33. Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ
37. Or do you have a scripture in which you learn
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ
38. That indeed for you is whatever you choose?
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ
39. Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ
40. Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ
41. Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.
أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَمٍ مُثْقَلُونَ
46. Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?
