قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَهُوَ یُحَاوِرُهُ أَکَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِی خَلَقَکَ مِنْ تُرَاب ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَة ثُمَّ سَوَّاکَ رَجُل(( 37 ))

37- HIS COMPANION SAID TO HIM, WHILE HE WAS ARGUING WITH HIM:ِ ``HAVE YOU LOST FAITH IN HIM WHO CREATED YOU FROM SOIL, THEN FROM A SPERM-DROP; AND AFTER THAT FASHIONED YOU INTO A MAN!?

لَّکِنَّا هُوَ اللهُ رَبِّی وَلاَ أُشْرِکُ بِرَبِّی أَحَد(( 38 ))

38- BUT AS FOR ME; ALLAH IS MY LORD, AND I WILL NOT ASSOCIATE WITH MY LORD ANY ONE.

وَلَوْلاَ إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَکَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ إِنْ تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنْکَ مَالا وَوَلَد(( 39 ))

39- WHY THEN WHEN YOU ENTERED YOUR GARDEN, DID NOT SAY:ِ ``ALLAH'S WILL BE DONE, THERE IS NO POWER EXCEPT IN ALLAH,'' WHEN YOU SAW ME TO HAVE LESS WEALTH AND CHILDREN THAN YOU?

فَعَسَى رَبِّی أَنْ یُؤْتِیَنِی خَیْراً مِّنْ جَنَّتِکَ وَیُرْسِلَ عَلَیْهَا حُسْبَاناً مِنْ السَّمَاءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِیداً زَلَق(( 40 ))

40- THEN IT MAY BE THAT MY LORD WILL GIVE ME BETTER THAN YOUR GARDEN; AND SEND AGAINST IT, (i.e. YOUR GARDEN) HAIL-STONE FROM THE SKY (FALLING IN SHOWER) THEN IN THE MORNING YOU FIND IT A SLIPPERY BARREN WASTE.

أَوْ یُصْبِحَ مَاؤُهَا غَوْراً فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِیعَ لَهُ طَلَب(( 41 ))

41- OR IT BEGIN THE DAY WITH ITS WATER HAVING SUNK DOWN, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND IT AGAIN.
