Woe to those who give short weight,1 who, when they take by measure from others, take it fully, and when they measure or weigh for them, they give them less than what is due.2 Do they not think that they will be raised up again on a Great Day?3 The Day when all mankind shall stand before the Lord of the worlds. Indeed not!4 Surely the records of the wicked are in the Prison Register5 and what do you know what the Prison Register is? It is a written book. Woe on that Day to the beliers who belie the Day of Recompense, and none belies it but every sinful transgressor. When Our Revelations are recited to him,6 he says: "These are tales of the ancient times." By no means! But the fact is that their evil deeds have stained their hearts.7 By no means! Surely on that Day they shall be debarred from their Lord's vision.8 Then they shall enter Hell. Then it will be said to them, "This is the very thing you used to belie." Indeed not!9 Surely the record of the righteous is in the Register of the exalted ones. And do you know what is the Register of the exalted ones? It is a written book, guarded by the angels nearest to Allah. Surely the righteous shall be in bliss; seated on high couches they shall be looking around. In their faces you shall mark the glow of bliss. They shall be given to drink the choicest, sealed wine whose seal shall be musk.10 Those who wish to excel others, let them endeavor to excel in this. That wine shall have the mixture of Tasnim.11 This is a fountain with the waters of which those nearest to Allah shall drink wine. The culprits used to laugh at the believers in the world. They would wink at one another when they passed by them. When they returned to their kinsfolk they returned jesting.12 And when they saw them, they would say, "These are the people gone astray,"13 although they had not been sent to be guardians over them.14 Today the believers are laughing at the disbelievers, as they recline on couches and gaze at them. Have not the disbelievers been duly rewarded for what they used to do?15
