أَنْ كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ
14. Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
15. When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
سَنَسِمُهُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ
16. We will brand him upon the snout.
إِنَّا بَلَوْنَاهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ

أَنِ اغْدُوا عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمِينَ
22. [Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."
فَانْطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَ
23. So they set out, while lowering their voices,
