Is
فِى
in
ذَٰلِكَ
that
قَسَمٌ
an oath
لِّذِى
for those
حِجْرٍ
who understand?
(6)
أَلَمْ
Do not
تَرَ
you see
كَيْفَ
how
فَعَلَ
dealt
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
بِعَادٍ
with Aad
(7)
إِرَمَ
Iram
ذَاتِ
possessors (of)
ٱلْعِمَادِ
lofty pillars
(8)
ٱلَّتِى
Which

يُخْلَقْ
had been created
مِثْلُهَا
like them
فِى
in
ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
the cities
(9)
وَثَمُودَ
And Thamud
ٱلَّذِينَ

(11)
ٱلَّذِينَ
Who
طَغَوْا۟
transgressed
فِى
in
ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
the lands
(12)
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟
And made much

And as for
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ
man
إِذَا
when
مَا

ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ
try him
رَبُّهُۥ
his Lord
فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ
and is generous to him
وَنَعَّمَهُۥ
and favors him
فَيَقُولُ
he says
رَبِّىٓ
"My Lord
