لَا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
45. Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيمِ
46. And they used to persist in the great violation,
وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
47. And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ
48. And our forefathers [as well]?"
قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ
49. Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ
50. Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ
51. Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
لَآكِلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرٍ مِنْ زَقُّومٍ
52. Will be eating from trees of zaqqum
