The Pen - Al-Qalam

Surely We will try them as We tried the owners of the garden, when they swore that they would certainly cut off the produce in the morning,

And were not willing to set aside a portion (for the poor).

Then there encompassed it a visitation from your Lord while they were sleeping.

So it became as black, barren land.

And they called out to each other in the morning,

Saying: Go early to your tilth if you would cut (the produce).

So they went, while they consulted together secretly,

Saying: No poor man shall enter it today upon you.
