(23:109) Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, `Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.` (23:110) But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them. (23:111) Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]." (23:112) [Allah] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?" (23:113) They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate." (23:114) He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known. (23:115) Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"
