38:6The notables among them announced: “Go on, and hold fast to your gods. This is something planned.

38:9Or do they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord—the Majestic, the Giver?

38:16And they say, “Our Lord, hasten Your writ upon us, before the Day of Account.”

38:17Be patient in the face of what they say, and mention Our servant David, the resourceful. He was obedient.

38:24He said, “He has done you wrong by asking your ewe in addition to his ewes. Many partners take advantage of one another, except those who believe and do good deeds, but these are so few.” David realized that We were testing him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and fell down to his knees, and repented.

38:39“This is Our gift; so give generously, or withhold; without account.”

38:41And mention Our servant Job, when he called out to his Lord, “Satan has afflicted me with hardship and pain.”

38:42“Stamp with your foot—here is cool water to wash with, and to drink.”

38:44“Take with your hand a bundle, and strike with it, and do not break your oath.” We found him patient. What an excellent servant! He was obedient.

38:45And mention Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—endowed with ability and vision.

38:54Such is Our bounty, inexhaustible.

38:61They will say, “Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us, give him double torment in the Fire.”

38:63Did we take them for mockery, or have our eyes swerved from them?

38:71Your Lord said to the angels, “I am creating a human being from clay.

38:82He said, “By Your majesty, I will seduce them all.

38:83Except for your loyal servants among them.”
