Al-Mutaffifin 83:1
وَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ
Woe unto the defrauders:
Al-Mutaffifin 83:2
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُونَ
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:3
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:4
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
Al-Mutaffifin 83:5
لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ
Unto an Awful Day,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:6
يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
Al-Mutaffifin 83:7
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٖ
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
Al-Mutaffifin 83:8
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٞ
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
Al-Mutaffifin 83:9
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ
A written record.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:10
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Al-Mutaffifin 83:11
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
Al-Mutaffifin 83:12
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:13
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:14
كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:15
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:16
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:17
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:18
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
Al-Mutaffifin 83:19
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
Al-Mutaffifin 83:20
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ
A written record,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:21
يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
Al-Mutaffifin 83:22
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:23
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On couches, gazing,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:24
تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:25
يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:26
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
Al-Mutaffifin 83:27
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:28
عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:29
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:30
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And wink one to another when they passed them;
Al-Mutaffifin 83:31
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
Al-Mutaffifin 83:32
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:33
وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:34
فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
Al-Mutaffifin 83:35
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On high couches, gazing.
Al-Mutaffifin 83:36
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
