Then it was struck by a torment from your Lord while they slept,

˹saying,˺ “Go early to your harvest, if you want to pick ˹all˺ the fruit.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

So they went off, whispering to one another,

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

So they set out, while lowering their voices,

— Saheeh International

ﭿ

“Do not let any poor person enter your garden today.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

They replied, “Glory be to our Lord! We have truly been wrongdoers.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

— Saheeh International
