وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ
بِالسَّيِّئَةِ
قَبْلَ
الْحَسَنَةِ
وَقَدْ
خَلَتْ
مِن
قَبْلِهِمُ
الْمَثُلَاتُ
وَإِنَّ
رَبَّكَ
لَذُو
مَغْفِرَةٍ
لِّلنَّاسِ
عَلَى
ظُلْمِهِمْ
وَإِنَّ
رَبَّكَ
لَشَدِيدُ
الْعِقَابِ
wa-yastaʿjilūnaka bi-s-sayyiʾati qabla l-ḥasanati wa-qad khalat min qablihimu l-mathulātu wa-ʾinna rabbaka la-dhū maghfiratin li-n-nāsi ʿalā ẓulmihim wa-ʾinna rabbaka la-shadīdu l-ʿiqābi
They ask you to bring upon them punishment before they ask you for mercy. Such punishments were already brought upon the people who lived before them. Your Lord, certainly, has forgiveness for the injustice of the people. He is also stern in His retribution.
