If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour).

If Allah were to punish men according to what they deserve. He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: when their Term expires, verily Allah has in His sight all His Servants.

如果真主为世人的不义而惩治他们，那末，他不留一个人在大地上，但他让他们延迟到一个定期，当他们的定期来临的时候，他们不得延迟一霎时，（当其未来临的时候），他们不能提前一霎时。

假若真主为世人所犯的罪恶而惩治他们，那末，他不留一个人在地面上，但他让他们延迟到一个定期，当他们的定期来临的时候，（他将依他们的行为而报酬他们），因为真主确是明察他的众仆的。
