17 Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning 18 Without making exception. 19 So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep. 20 And it became as though reaped. 21 And they called one another at morning, 22 [Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit." 23 So they set out, while lowering their voices, 24 [Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person." 25 And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.
But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
