Say those without knowledge: "Why speaketh not Allah unto us? or why cometh not unto us a Sign?" So said the people before them words of similar import. Their hearts are alike. We have indeed made clear the Signs unto any people who hold firmly to Faith (in their hearts).

And those who followed would say: "If only We had one more chance, We would clear ourselves of them, as they have cleared themselves of us." Thus will Allah show them (The fruits of) their deeds as (nothing but) regrets. Nor will there be a way for them out of the Fire.

Their Prophet said to them: "Allah hath appointed Talut as king over you." They said: "How can he exercise authority over us when we are better fitted than he to exercise authority, and he is not even gifted, with wealth in abundance?" He said: "Allah hath Chosen him above you, and hath gifted him abundantly with knowledge and bodily prowess: Allah Granteth His authority to whom He pleaseth. Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."

And (further) their Prophet said to them: "A Sign of his authority is that there shall come to you the Ark of the covenant, with (an assurance) therein of security from your Lord, and the relics left by the family of Moses and the family of Aaron, carried by angels. In this is a symbol for you if ye indeed have faith."

Allah did curse him, but he said: "I will take of Thy servants a portion Marked off;

Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."

They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.

One day will He gather them all together, (and say): "O ye assembly of Jinns! Much (toll) did ye take of men." Their friends amongst men will say: "Our Lord! we made profit from each other: but (alas!) we reached our term - which thou didst appoint for us." He will say: "The Fire be your dwelling-place: you will dwell therein for ever, except as Allah willeth." for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge.

Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said: "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever."

So Salih left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counsellors!"

The leaders, the unbelievers among his people, said: "If ye follow Shu'aib, be sure then ye are ruined!"

So Shu'aib left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the messages for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but how shall I lament over a people who refuse to believe!"

Moses said: "O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds,-

Said the chiefs of Pharaoh's people: "Wilt thou leave Moses and his people, to spread mischief in the land, and to abandon thee and thy gods?" He said: "Their male children will we slay; (only) their females will we save alive; and we have over them (power) irresistible."

We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and completed (the period) with ten (more): thus was completed the term (of communion) with his Lord, forty nights. And Moses had charged his brother Aaron (before he went up): "Act for me amongst my people: Do right, and follow not the way of those who do mischief."

Remember Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them, and said: "No one among men can overcome you this day, while I am near to you": But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he turned on his heels, and said: "Lo! I am clear of you; lo! I see what ye see not; Lo! I fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment."

One day shall We gather them all together. Then shall We say to those who joined gods (with Us): "To your place! ye and those ye joined as 'partners' We shall separate them, and their "Partners" shall say: "It was not us that ye worshipped!

Said Pharaoh: "Bring me every sorcerer well versed."

Moses said: "O my people! If ye do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your trust if ye submit (your will to His)."

Moses prayed: "Our Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of the present, and so, Our Lord, they mislead (men) from Thy Path. Deface our Lord, the features of their wealth, and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe until they see the grievous penalty."

So he said: "Embark ye on the Ark, In the name of Allah, whether it move or be at rest! For my Lord is, be sure, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"

When Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account and felt himself powerless (to protect) them. He said: "This is a distressful day."

The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.

Ladies said in the City: "The wife of the (great) 'Aziz is seeking to seduce her slave from his (true) self: Truly hath he inspired her with violent love: we see she is evidently going astray."

Now with him there came into the prison two young men. Said one of them: "I see myself (in a dream) pressing wine." said the other: "I see myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head, and birds are eating, thereof." "Tell us" (they said) "The truth and meaning thereof: for we see thou art one that doth good (to all)."

And of the two, to that one whom he consider about to be saved, he said: "Mention me to thy lord." But Satan made him forget to mention him to his lord: and (Joseph) lingered in prison a few (more) years.

The king (of Egypt) said: "I do see (in a vision) seven fat kine, whom seven lean ones devour, and seven green ears of corn, and seven (others) withered. O ye chiefs! Expound to me my vision if it be that ye can interpret visions."

But the man who had been released, one of the two (who had been in prison) and who now bethought him after (so long) a space of time, said: "I will tell you the truth of its interpretation: send ye me (therefore)."

So the king said: "Bring ye him unto me." But when the messenger came to him, (Joseph) said: "Go thou back to thy lord, and ask him, 'What is the state of mind of the ladies who cut their hands'? For my Lord is certainly well aware of their snare."

无知者说：“为甚麽真主不和我们说话呢？为甚麽不有一种迹象降临我们呢？”他们之前的人也说过这样的话；他们的心是相似的。我确已为笃信的民众阐明许多迹象了。

随从的人，将说：“但愿我们得返麈世，那末，我们将与他们绝交，犹如他们与我们绝交一样。”真主将这样以他们的行为昭示他们，使他们感到悔恨，他们绝不能逃出火狱。

他们的先知对他们说：“真主确已为你们立塔鲁特为国王了。”他们说：“他怎麽配做我们的国王呢？我们是比他更配做国王的，况且他没有丰富的财产。”他说：“真主确已选他为你们的领袖，并且加赐他渊博的学识和健壮的体魄。”真主常常把国权赏赐自己所意欲的人。真主是宽大的，全知的。

他们的先知对他们说：“他的国权的迹象，是约柜降临你们，约柜里有从主降下的宁静，与穆萨的门徒和哈伦的门徒的遗物，众天神载负著它。对於你们，此中确有一种迹象，如果你们是信士。”

愿真主弃绝他！他说：“我必定要从你的仆人中占有一定的数量，

真主与以色列的后裔确已缔约，并从他们中派出十二个首领。真主说：“我确与你们同在。如果你们谨守拜功，完纳天课，确信我的众使者，并协助他们，并以善债借给真主，我必勾销你们的罪恶，我必让你们进入下临诸河的乐园。此后，谁不信道，谁已迷失了正路。”

妄言真主就是麦尔彦之子麦西哈的人，确已不信道了。麦西哈曾说：“以色列的后裔啊!你们当崇拜真主--我的主，和你们的主。谁以物配主，真主必禁止谁入乐园，他的归宿是火狱。不义的人，绝没有任何援助者。”

我把他们完全集合之日，（或者将说）：”精灵的群众啊！你们确已诱惑许多人了。”这些人中的党羽将说：“我们的主啊！我们已互相利用，而达到你所为我们预定的期限了！”他说：“火狱是你们的归宿，你们将永居其中，除非真主意欲的时候。”你的主确是至睿的，确是全知的。

但恶魔教唆他俩，以致为他俩显出他俩的被遮盖的阴部。他说：“你俩的主禁你们俩吃这棵树的果实，只为不愿你俩变成天神，或永生不灭。”

于是，他离开他们，并且说：“我的宗族啊！我确已把我的主的使命传达给你们了，并忠告你们，但是你们不喜欢忠告者。”

他的宗族中不信道的贵族们说：“如果你们顺从舒阿卜，那末你们一定是亏折的人。”

于是，他离开他们，并且说：“我的宗族啊！我确已把我的主的使命传达给你们了，并向你们提出了忠告。我怎能哀悼不信道的民众呢！”

穆萨说：“法老啊！我确是全世界的主所派遣的使者，

法老的百姓中的众领袖说：“难道你要任随穆萨和他的宗族在地方上作恶，并抛弃你和你的众神灵吗？”他说：“我们要屠杀他们的儿子，保全他们的妇女，我们确是统治他们的。

我与穆萨约期三十夜。我又以十夜补足之，故他的主的约期共计四十夜。穆萨对他哥哥哈伦说：“请你替我统率我的宗族。你要改善他们的事务，你不要遵循作恶者的道路。”

当时，恶魔以他们的行为蛊惑他们，他说：“今天，任何人不能战胜你们，我确是你们的保护者。”当两军对垒的时候，他向后转，他说：“我与你们确是无干的，我的确能看见你们所不能看见的，我的确畏惧真主。真主的刑罚是严厉的。”

当时，恶魔以他们的行为蛊惑他们，他说：“今天，任何人不能战胜你们，我确是你们的保护者。”当两军对垒的时候，他向后转，他说：“我与你们确是无干的，我的确能看见你们所不能看见的，我的确畏惧真主。真主的刑罚是严厉的。”

在那日，我要把他们全部集合起来，然后，对以物配主的人说：“你们和你们的配主站住吧！”于是，我使他们彼此分离，他们的配主要说：“你们没有崇拜过我们，

法老说：“你们把一切高明的术士都召来见我吧！”

穆萨说：“我的宗族啊！如果你们信仰真主，你们就应当只信赖他，如果你们是归顺的。”

穆萨说：“我们的主啊！你把各种装饰品和今世生活的各种财产给予法老和他的贵族们--我们的主啊！--以致他们使民众背离你的大道。我们的主啊！求你毁掉他们的财产，求你封闭他们的心。但愿他们不信道，直到看见痛苦的刑罚。”

他说：“你们上船去吧！这只船的航行和停舶都是奉真主之名的。我的主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。”

当我的众使者来到鲁特家的时候，他为使者们陷入难境，他无力保护他们，他说：“这是一个艰难的日子。”

那购买他的埃及人对自己的妻子说：“你应当优待他，他也许对我们有好处，或者我们抚养他做义子。”我这样使优素福在大地上获得地位，以便我教他圆梦。真主对于其事务是自主的，但人们大半不知道。

都城里的一些妇女说：“权贵的妻子勾引她的仆人，他迷惑了她，我们认为她确是在明显的迷误之中的。”

有两个青年和他一同入狱，这个说：“我确已梦见我榨葡萄汁（酿酒）。”那个说：“我确已梦见我的头上顶著一个大饼，众鸟飞来啄食。请你替我们圆梦，我们的确认为你是行善的。”

他对两人中预料将会获释的人说：“请你在你主人面前替我申冤。”但恶魔使他忘记在他主人面前替优素福申冤，以至他在监里坐了几年。

国王说：“我确已梦见七头胖黄牛，被七头瘦黄牛吃掉了，又梦见七穗青麦子，和七穗乾麦子。侍从们呀！你们替我圆圆这个梦。如果你们是会圆梦的人。”

曾被赦宥并且在一个时期之后想起优素福的那个青年说：“我将告诉你们关于这个梦的意思，请你们派我去吧。”

国王说：“你们带他来见我吧！”当使者到来的时候，他说：“请你回去问问你的主人，曾经把自己的手割伤了的那些妇女，现在是怎样的？我的主是全知她们的诡计的。”
