Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.

         

Saheeh International

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

       

Saheeh International

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees]1 has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.

   ﭿ       

Saheeh International

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allāh a lie.

           

Saheeh International

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].

         

Saheeh International

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allāh would never send anyone [as a messenger].

        

Saheeh International

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.

             

Saheeh International

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing,1 but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.

             

Saheeh International

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.
