Surah 7. Al-A'raf, Ayah 47
| ۞ وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاءَ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- 'idhaa s.urifat abs.aar -hum tilqaa'a as.h.aab an- naar qaalo rabb -naa laa tajcal -naa maca al- qawm az.- z.aalimen |
| Pickthall | : | And when their eyes are turned toward the dwellers of the Fire, they say: Our Lord! Place us not with the wrongdoing folk. |
| Asad | : | And whenever their eyes are turned towards the inmates of the fire, they will cry "O our Sustainer! Place us not among the people who have been guilty of evildoing!" |
| Malik | : | When their eyes shall turn towards the inmates of the hellfire they will say: "Our Rabb! Do not cast us among these wrongdoers." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | When their eyes shall be turned towards the companions of the fire they will say: "Our Lord! send us not to the company of the wrong- doers." 1026 |
Note - 1026Their eyes: according to interpretation (2) of the last
note, "their" would refer to the people whose fate has
not yet been decided, and the speech would be theirs;
according to interpretations (1) and (3) in that note,
"their" would refer to the Companions of the Garden, who
would realise the terrible nature of hell, and express
their horror of it. I prefer the latter. Then the mention
of the "men on the Heights" and their speech in verse 48
comes in naturally as a different kind of speech from a
different kind of men.
