ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ ٢٥
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَىٰ ٢٦
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).
