وَإِذَا
قُرِئَ
الْقُرْآنُ
فَاسْتَمِعُوا
لَهُ
وَأَنصِتُوا
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تُرْحَمُونَ
wa-ʾidhā quriʾa l-qurʾānu fa-stamiʿū lahū wa-ʾanṣitū laʿallakum turḥamūna
When the Quran is recited, listen to it and be silent, maybe you will receive [Allah’s] mercy.
— Ali Quli Qarai
When the Qur'an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy.
