عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَۙ ( المدثر: ٤١ )
About the criminals,
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِيْ سَقَرَ ( المدثر: ٤٢ )
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
قَالُوْا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّيْنَۙ ( المدثر: ٤٣ )
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِيْنَۙ ( المدثر: ٤٤ )
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَكُنَّا نَخُوْضُ مَعَ الْخَاۤىِٕضِيْنَۙ ( المدثر: ٤٥ )
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِۙ ( المدثر: ٤٦ )
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
حَتّٰىٓ اَتٰىنَا الْيَقِيْنُۗ ( المدثر: ٤٧ )
Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."
فَمَا تَنْفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِيْنَۗ ( المدثر: ٤٨ )
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِيْنَۙ ( المدثر: ٤٩ )
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away.
كَاَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنْفِرَةٌۙ ( المدثر: ٥٠ )
As if they were alarmed donkeys.
