M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

4. And most surely you conform (yourself) to sublime morality.

5. So you shall see, and they (too) shall see,

6. Which of you is afflicted with madness.

7. Surely your Lord best knows him who errs from His way, and He best knows the followers of the right course.

8. So do not yield to the rejecters.

9. They wish that you should be pliant so they (too) would be pliant.

10. And yield not to any mean swearer,

11. Defamer, going about with slander,

12. Forbidder of good, out­ stepping the limits, sinful,

13. Ignoble, besides all that, base-born;

14. Because he possesses wealth and sons.

15. When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.

16. We will brand him on the nose.

17. Surely We will try them as We tried the owners of the garden, when they swore that they would certainly cut off the produce in the morning,

18. And were not willing to set aside a portion (for the poor).

19. Then there encompassed it a visitation from your Lord while they were sleeping.
