Or (take) the similitude of one who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" but Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: (Perhaps) a day or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they show no signs of age; and look at thy donkey: And that We may make of thee a sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things."

"'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.

Thus do we make the wrong-doers turn to each other, because of what they earn.

Whether We show thee (realised in thy life-time) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (Before that),- in any case, to Us is their return: ultimately Allah is witness, to all that they do.

Perchance thou mayest (feel the inclination) to give up a part of what is revealed unto thee, and thy heart feeleth straitened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down unto him, or why does not an angel come down with him?" But thou art there only to warn! It is Allah that arrangeth all affairs!

Whether We shall show thee (within thy life-time) part of what we promised them or take to ourselves thy soul (before it is all accomplished),- thy duty is to make (the Message) reach them: it is our part to call them to account.

And it is your Lord that knoweth best all beings that are in the heavens and on earth: We did bestow on some prophets more (and other) gifts than on others: and We gave to David (the gift of) the Psalms.

Such (being their state), we raised them up (from sleep), that they might question each other. Said one of them, "How long have ye stayed (here)?" They said, "We have stayed (perhaps) a day, or part of a day." (At length) they (all) said, "Allah (alone) knows best how long ye have stayed here.... Now send ye then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food (to be had) and bring some to you, that (ye may) satisfy your hunger therewith: And let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform any one about you.

They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account."

Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).

So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.

When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me.

O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear Allah: For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

难道你没有看见那个人吗？他经过一个荒凉的颓废的城市，他说：“真主怎样使这个已死的城市复活呢？”故真主使他在死亡的状态下逗留了一百年，然後使他复活。他说：“你逗留了多久？”他说：“我逗留了一日，或不到一日。”他说：“不然，你已逗留了一百年。你看你的饮食，没有腐败。你看你的驴子。我要以你为世人的迹象。你看这些骸骨，我怎样配合他，怎样以肉套在它的上面。”当他明白这件事的时候，他说：“我知道真主对於万事是全能的。”

（我奉命来）证实在我之前降示的《讨拉特》，并为你们解除一部分禁令。我已昭示你们从真主发出的一种迹象，故你们应当敬畏真主，应当服从我。

我这样使不义的人因自己的行为而互相友善。

如果我昭示你一点我所用以恫吓他们的那种刑罚，那末，我对他们确是全能的；设或我使你寿终，那末，他们只归于我，然后，真主是见证他们的行为的。

你或许不肯传达你所受的部分启示，而且因之而烦闷，因为恐怕他们说：“为什么，或有一个天神与他一道来临呢？”你只是一个警告者，真主是监护万物的。

如果我把我用来恫吓他们的刑罚昭示你一点儿，（那会使你满意），如果我使你寿终，那么，你只负传达的责任，我自负清算的责任。

你的主是知道天地万物的。我确已使一部分先知超越另一部分；我曾以经典赏赐达五德。

我如此使他们觉醒，以便他们互相询问，其中有一个人说：“你们逗留了多久？”他们说：“我们逗留了一天，或不到一天。”他们说：“你们的主最清楚你们逗留的时间的。你们自己派一个人，带著你们的这些银币到城里去，看看谁家的食品最清洁，叫他买点食品来给你们，要叫他很谨慎，不要使任何人知道你们。

他们说：“我们逗留了一天，或者不足一天； 请你问问能计算年月的（天神）吧。”

灾害因众人所犯的罪恶而显现于大陆和海洋，以至真主使他们尝试自己的行为的一点报酬，以便他们悔悟。

你当坚忍，真主的应许确是真实的。如果我要昭示你一点我用以恫吓他们的刑罚，（那末，我对他们确是全能的）；设或我使你去世，那末，他们只被召归于我。

当尔撒带着许多明证来临的时候，他说：“我确已把智慧带来给你们，以便我为你们解释你们所争论的一部分律例。故你们应当敬畏真主，应当服从我。

信道的人们啊！你们应当远离许多猜疑；有些猜疑，确是罪过。你们不要互相侦探，不要互相背毁，难道你们中有人喜欢吃他的已死的教胞的肉吗？你们是厌恶那种行为的。你们应当敬畏真主，真主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

假若他假借我的名义，捏造谣言，
