فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِحِيْنَۙ ( القلم: ٢١ )
And they called one another at morning,
اَنِ اغْدُوْا عَلٰى حَرْثِكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمِيْنَ ( القلم: ٢٢ )
[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."
فَانْطَلَقُوْا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُوْنَۙ ( القلم: ٢٣ )
So they set out, while lowering their voices,
اَنْ لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّسْكِيْنٌۙ ( القلم: ٢٤ )
[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."
وَّغَدَوْا عَلٰى حَرْدٍ قَادِرِيْنَ ( القلم: ٢٥ )
And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.
فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهَا قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا لَضَاۤلُّوْنَۙ ( القلم: ٢٦ )
But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُوْمُوْنَ ( القلم: ٢٧ )
Rather, we have been deprived."
قَالَ اَوْسَطُهُمْ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُوْنَ ( القلم: ٢٨ )
The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?'"
قَالُوْا سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ( القلم: ٢٩ )
They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
فَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَّتَلَاوَمُوْنَ ( القلم: ٣٠ )
Then they approached one another, blaming each other.
