56:8Those on the Right—what of those on the Right?

56:9And those on the Left—what of those on the Left?

56:13A throng from the ancients.

56:15On luxurious furnishings.

56:16Reclining on them, facing one another.

56:19Causing them neither headache, nor intoxication.

56:22And lovely companions.

56:25Therein they will hear no nonsense, and no accusations.

56:26But only the greeting: “Peace, peace.”

56:27And those on the Right—what of those on the Right?

56:35We have created them of special creation.

56:38For those on the Right.

56:39A throng from the ancients.

56:40And a throng from the latecomers.

56:41And those on the Left—what of those on the Left?

56:54Will be drinking on top of it boiling water.

56:56That is their hospitality on the Day of Retribution.

56:60We have decreed death among you, and We will not be outstripped.

56:62You have known the first formation; if only you would remember.

56:75I swear by the locations of the stars.

56:79None can grasp it except the purified.

56:80A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

56:84As you are looking on.

56:88But if he is one of those brought near.

56:90And if he is one of those on the Right.

56:91Then, “Peace upon you,” from those on the Right.

56:92But if he is one of the deniers, the mistaken.
