1. Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?

2. Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.

3. Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.

4. Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze.

5. Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kafur,

6. A spring of which the [righteous] servants of Allah will drink; they will make it gush forth in force [and abundance].

7. They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.

8. And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,

9. [Saying], "We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.

10. Indeed, We fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful."

11. So Allah will protect them from the evil of that Day and give them radiance and happiness

12. And will reward them for what they patiently endured [with] a garden [in Paradise] and silk [garments].

13. [They will be] reclining therein on adorned couches. They will not see therein any [burning] sun or [freezing] cold.

14. And near above them are its shades, and its [fruit] to be picked will be lowered in compliance.

15. And there will be circulated among them vessels of silver and cups having been [created] clear [as glass],

16. Clear glasses [made] from silver of which they have determined the measure.

17. And they will be given to drink a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of ginger

18. [From] a fountain within Paradise named Salsabeel.

19. There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them [as beautiful as] scattered pearls.

20. And when you look there [in Paradise], you will see pleasure and great dominion.
