so we made the earth to swallow him and his dwelling and there was no host to help him apart from god and he was helpless and in the morning those who had longed to be in his place the day before were saying ah god outspreads and straitens his provision to whomsoever he will of his servants. had god not been gracious to us he would have made us to be swallowed too. ah the unbelievers do not prosper that is the last abode we appoint it for those who desire not exorbitance in the earth nor corruption. the issue ultimate is to the godfearing.
فخسفنا به وبداره الأرض فما كان له من فئة ينصرونه من دون الله وما كان من المنتصرين وأصبح الذين تمنوا مكانه بالأمس يقولون ويكأن الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء من عباده ويقدر لولا أن من الله علينا لخسف بنا ويكأنه لا يفلح الكافرون تلك الدار الآخرة نجعلها للذين لا يريدون علوا في الأرض ولا فسادا والعاقبة للمتقين
