Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day;" but they do not (really) believe.

They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us what (heifer) it is!" He said; "He says: The heifer should be neither too old nor too young, but of middling age. Now do what ye are commanded!"

They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us Her colour." He said: "He says: A fawn-coloured heifer, pure and rich in tone, the admiration of beholders!"

He said: "He says: A heifer not trained to till the soil or water the fields; sound and without blemish." They said: "Now hast thou brought the truth." Then they offered her in sacrifice, but not with good-will.

To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is.

So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of Allah, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul. There are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the Hereafter.

And there are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire!"

She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, So they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the signs, not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee, they (but) dispute with thee; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients."

It is He who created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): the day He saith, "Be," behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will be the dominion the day the trumpet will be blown. He knoweth the unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well acquainted (with all things).

Do they just wait for the final fulfilment of the event? On the day the event is finally fulfilled, those who disregarded it before will say: "The messengers of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). Have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back? then should we behave differently from our behaviour in the past." In fact they will have lost their souls, and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch.

Lo! the hypocrites say, and those in whose hearts is a disease: "These people,- their religion has misled them." But if any trust in Allah, behold! Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.

If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.

Among them is (many) a man who says: "Grant me exemption and draw me not into trial." Have they not fallen into trial already? and indeed Hell surrounds the Unbelievers (on all sides).

Whenever there cometh down a sura, some of them say: "Which of you has had His faith increased by it?" Yea, those who believe,- their faith is increased and they do rejoice.

We know best why it is they listen, when they listen to thee; and when they meet in private conference, behold, the wicked say, "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched!"

One Day He will say, "Call on those whom ye thought to be My partners," and they will call on them, but they will not listen to them; and We shall make for them a place of common perdition.

It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.

To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.

We know best what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say: "Ye tarried not longer than a day!"

The Day that the wrong-doer will bite at his hands, he will say, "Oh! would that I had taken a (straight) path with the Messenger!

Then there are among men such as say, "We believe in Allah"; but when they suffer affliction in (the cause of) Allah, they treat men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of Allah! And if help comes (to thee) from thy Lord, they are sure to say, "We have (always) been with you!" Does not Allah know best all that is in the hearts of all creation?

Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah tells (you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way.

And behold! The Hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (even) say: "Allah and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion!"

The Unbelievers say: "We shall neither believe in this scripture nor in (any) that (came) before it." Couldst thou but see when the wrong-doers will be made to stand before their Lord, throwing back the word (of blame) on one another! Those who had been despised will say to the arrogant ones: "Had it not been for you, we should certainly have been believers!"

One Day He will gather them all together, and say to the angels, "Was it you that these men used to worship?"

"Who used to say, 'what! art thou amongst those who bear witness to the Truth (of the Message)?

It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is.

Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.

有些人说：“我们已信真主和末日了。”其实，他们绝不是信士。

他们说：“请你替我们请求你的主为我们说明那头牛的情状。”他说：“我的主说：那头牛确是不老不少，年龄适中的。你们遵命而行吧！”

他们说：“请你替我们请求你的主为我们说明那头牛的毛色。”他说“我的主说：那头牛毛色纯黄，见者喜悦。”

他说：“我的主说：那头牛不是受过训练的，既不耕田地，又不转水车，确是全美无斑的。”他们说：“现在你揭示真相了。”他们就宰了那头牛，但非出自愿。

他是天地的创造者，当他判决一件事的时候，他只对那件事说声”有”，它就有了。

你们在举行朝觐的典礼之後，当记念真主，犹如记念你们的祖先一样，或记念得更多些。有人说：“我们的主啊！求你在今世赏赐我们。”他在後世，绝无福分。

有人说：“我们的主啊！求你在今世赏赐我们美好的（生活），在後世也赏赐我们美好的（生活），求你保护我们，免受火狱的刑罚。”

她说：“我的主啊！任何人都没有和我接触过，我怎么会有儿子呢?”天神说：“真主要如此创造他的意欲的人。当他判决一件事情的时候，他只对那件事情说声‘有'，它就有了。”

他们中有倾听你的，我在他们的心上加蒙蔽，以免他们了解《古兰经》。又在他们的耳中造重听。他们即使看见－切迹象，他们也不会确信。等到他们来和你辩论的时候，不信道的人说：“这只是古人的神话。”

他就是本真理而创造天地的。在那日，他说'有'，世界就有了。他的话就是真理。吹号角之日，国权只是他的。他知道幽明，他是至睿的，是彻知的。”

他们只等待那部经典的效果，他的效果到来的日子，从前忘记这经典的人将会说：“我们的主的众使者，确已昭示真理了！我们有几位说情的人来替我们说情，或准我们返回尘世去，舍罪恶而立善功吗？”他们确已亏折了自身，他们所捏造的事已回避他们了。

当时，伪信的人和心中有病的人都说：“这等人的宗教已欺骗他们了。”谁信赖真主，（谁必胜利），因为真主确是强大的，确是至睿的。

如果你们不相助他，那末，真主确已相助他了。当时，不信道的人们把他驱逐出境，只有一个人与他同行，当时，他俩在山洞里，他对他的同伴说：“不要忧愁，真主确是和我们在一起的。”真主就把宁静降给他，而且以你们所看不见的军队扶助他，并且使不信道者的言词变成最卑贱的；而真主的言词确是最高尚的。真主是万能的，是至睿的。

他们中有人说：“请你准我的假吧。不要使我遭遇祸害。”其实，他们正堕入祸害之中。火狱确是包围著不信道者的。

当降示一章经的时候，他们中有人说：“这章经使你们中的哪个人更加确信呢？”至于信道者，那章经使他们更加确信了。同时，他们是快乐的。

我最知道他们为何要倾听你诵经，当时他们来倾听你诵经，并且秘密地谈话。当时不义者们说：“你们只是顺从一个中了魔术的人。”

在那日，真主将说：“你们所称为我的伙计的，你们把他们召唤来吧。”他们就召唤那些同事，但他们不答应。我将使他们同归于尽。

”真主不会收养儿子--赞颂真主、超绝万物--当他判决一件事的时候，他只对那件事说：‘有'，它就有了。

不然，我将记录他所说的，我将为他加重刑罚，

我将继承他所说的财产和子嗣。而他将单身来见我。

我知道他们说些什么。当时，他们中思想最正确的人说：“你们只逗留了一天。”

在那日，不义者一面咬手一面说：“啊！但愿我曾与使者采取同一道路。

有些人说：“我们已信真主了。”当他们为真主而受迫害的时候，他们把众人的迫害当做真主的刑罚。如果援助从你们的主降临，他们必定说：“我们确是与你们同在一起的。”难道真主不是知道世人的胸襟的吗？

真主没有在任何人的胸膛里创造两个心。你们的妻子，你们把她们的脊背当做自己的母亲的脊背--真主没有把她们当做你们的母亲，也没有把你们的义子当作你们的儿子。这是你们信口开河的话。真主是说明真理的，是指示正道的。

当时，伪信者和心中有病的人都说：“真主及其使者，只虚伪地应许我们。”

不信道的人们说：“我们决不信这《古兰经》，也不信以前的经典。”假若你得见不义的人们被拘留在他们的主那里的时候，他们互相辩驳，被欺负的人们将对骄傲的人们说：“假若没有你们，我们必定是信道的。”

在那日，他要将他们统统集合起来，然后对天神们说：“这些人崇拜过你们吗？”

他问我：'你确是诚信的吗？

他能使人生，能使人死。当他判决一件事的时候，他只对那件事说”有”，它就有了。

大家引颈而奔，群集于召唤者的面前。不信道的人们将说：“这是一个烦难的日子！”
