(38:43) And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding. (38:44) [We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah]. (38:45) And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision. (38:46) Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home [of the Hereafter]. (38:47) And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding. (38:48) And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding. (38:49) This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return (38:50) Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them. (38:51) Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink. (38:52) And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age. (38:53) This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account. (38:54) Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion. (38:55) This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return - (38:56) Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place. (38:57) This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence. (38:58) And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds. (38:59) [Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire." (38:60) They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement." (38:61) They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire." (38:62) And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst? (38:63) Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"
