بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ (148)

and ˹various˺ crops, and palm trees ˹loaded˺ with tender fruit;

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَـٰرِهِينَ (149)

to carve homes in the mountains with great skill?

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ (150)

So fear Allah, and obey me.

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ (151)

And do not follow the command of the transgressors,

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ (152)

who spread corruption throughout the land, never setting things right.”

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ (153)

They replied, “You are simply bewitched!

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ (154)

You are only a human being like us, so bring forth a sign if what you say is true.”
