Saheeh International

By the star when it descends,

     

Saheeh International

Your companion [i.e., Muḥammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

    

Saheeh International

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

     

Saheeh International

It is not but a revelation revealed,

   

Saheeh International

Taught to him by one intense in strength [i.e., Gabriel] -

   

Saheeh International

One of soundness.1 And he rose to [his] true form2

   

Saheeh International

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.1

   

Saheeh International

Then he approached and descended

     

Saheeh International

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

   ﭿ  

Saheeh International

And he revealed to His Servant1 what he revealed [i.e., conveyed].
