`Do you give me glad tidings
Does any of you wish that he should have a garden with date-palms and vines and streams flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruit, while he is stricken with old age, and his children are not strong (enough to look after themselves)- that it should be caught in a whirlwind, with fire therein, and be burnt up? Thus doth Allah make clear to you (His) Signs; that ye may consider.
He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have son, seeing I am very old, and my wife is barren?" "Thus," was the answer, "Doth Allah accomplish what He willeth."
He said: "Do ye give me glad tidings that old age has seized me? Of what, then, is your good news?"
你们中有谁喜欢自己有一个种满海枣和葡萄,下临诸河,能出产很多果实的园圃,在自己已老迈,而儿女还是弱小的时候,遭遇挟火的旋风,把自己的园圃,烧毁无遗呢?真主为你们这样阐明许多迹象,以便你们思维。
他说:“我的主啊!我确已老迈了,我的妻子是不会生育的,我怎么会有儿子呢?”天神说:“真主如此为所欲为。”
他说:“我已老迈,你们还向我报喜吗?你们以什么向我报喜呢?”
