Saheeh International

So I swear by the retreating stars -

  

Saheeh International

Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]

   

Saheeh International

And by the night as it closes in1

   

Saheeh International

And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]

    

Saheeh International

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]

      

Saheeh International

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

   

Saheeh International

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

   

Saheeh International

And your companion [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) ] is not [at all] mad.1

    

Saheeh International

And he has already seen him [i.e., Gabriel] in the clear horizon.1

     

Saheeh International

And he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.1
