Al Anabeeh

1 [The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness.

1 Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and in heedlessness are they turning aside.

2 No mention comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play

2 Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they play,

2 There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport,

3 With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"

3 With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong - doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you ? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it) ?

3 Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counsel together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while you see?

4 The Prophet said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."

4 He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

4 He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

5 But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."

5 Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were God's messengers) were sent (with portents).

5 Nay! say they: Medleys of dreams; nay! he has forged it; nay! he is a poet; so let him bring to us a sign as the former (prophets) were sent (with).

6 Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them, so will they believe?

6 Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe ?

6 There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will they then believe?

7 And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message if you do not know.

7 And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men, whom We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not ?

7 And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you do not

8 And We did not make the prophets forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].

8 We gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortals.

8 And We did not make them bodies not eating the food, and they were not to abide (forever).

9 Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

9 Then we fulfilled the promise unto them. So we delivered them and whom We would, and We destroyed the prodigals.

9 Then We made Our promise good to them, so We delivered them and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the extravagant.

10 We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?

10 Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder. Have ye then no sense ?

10 Certainly We have revealed to you a Book in which is your good remembrance; what! do you not then understand?

11 And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.

11 How many a community that dealt unjustly have We shattered, and raised up after them another folk!

11 And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it another people!

12 And when its inhabitants perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

12 And, when they felt Our might, behold them fleeing from it!

12 So when they felt Our punishment, lo! they began to fly

13 [Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."

13 (But it was said unto them): Flee not, but return to that (existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings, that ye may be questioned.

13 Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made to lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will be questioned.

14 They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

14 They cried: Alas for us! we were wrong - doers.

14 They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.

15 And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].

15 And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped corn, extinct.

15 And this ceased not to be their cry till We made them cut off, extinct.

16 And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

16 We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play.

16 And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them for sport.

17 Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

17 If We had wished to find a pastime, We could have found it in Our presence - if We ever did.

17 Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made it from before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it).

18 Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.

18 Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him).

18 Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes; and woe to you for what you describe;

19 To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

19 Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who dwell in His presence are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they weary;

19 And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; and those who are with Him are not proud to serve Him, nor do they grow weary.

20 They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

20 They glorify (Him) night and day; they flag not.

20 They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid.

21 Or have men taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

21 Or have they chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead ?

21 Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise (the dead).

22 Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

22 If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him).

22 If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder; therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, above what they attribute (to Him).

23 He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

23 He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth, but they will be questioned.

23 He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and they shall be questioned.

24 Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

24 Or have they chosen other gods beside Him ? say: Bring your proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those before me, but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse.

24 Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring your proof; this is the reminder of those with me and the reminder of those before me. Nay! most of them do not know the truth, so they turn aside.

25 And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

25 And We sent no messenger before thee but We inspired him, (saying): There is no God save Me (Allah), so worship Me.

25 And We did not send before you any apostle but We revealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serve Me.

26 And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they are [but] honored servants.

26 And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He Glorified! Nay, but (those whom they call sons) are honoured slaves;

26 And they say: The Beneficent Allah has taken to Himself a son. Glory be to Him. Nay! they are honored servants

27 They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

27 They speak not until He hath spoken, and they act by His command.

27 They do not precede Him in speech and (only) according to His commandment do they act.

28 He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.

28 He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth, and they quake for awe of Him.

28 He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves and for fear of Him they tremble.

29 And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him" - that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

29 And one of them who should say: Lo! I am a god beside Him, that one We should repay with hell. Thus We Repay wrong - doers.

29 And whoever of them should say: Surely I am a god besides Him, such a one do We recompense with hell; thus do, We recompense the unjust.

30 Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

30 Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water ? Will they not then believe ?

30 Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?

31 And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes [as] roads that they might be guided.

31 And We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with them, and We have placed therein ravines as roads that haply they may find their way.

31 And We have made great mountains in the earth lest it might be convulsed with them, and We have made in it wide ways that they may follow a right direction.

32 And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.

32 And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.

32 And We have made the heaven a guarded canopy and (yet) they turn aside from its signs.

33 And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.

33 And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit.

33 And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres.

34 And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?

34 We appointed immortality for no mortal before thee. What! if thou diest, can they be immortal!

34 And We did not ordain abiding for any mortal before you. What! Then if you die, will they abide?

35 Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.

35 Every soul must taste of death, and We try you with evil and with good, for ordeal. And unto Us ye will be returned.

35 Every soul must taste of death and We try you by evil and good by way of probation; and to Us you shall be brought back.

36 And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who insults your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.

36 And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods ? And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent.

36 And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take you but for one to be scoffed at: Is this he who speaks of your gods? And they are deniers at the mention of the Beneficent Allah.

37 Man was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not impatiently urge Me.

37 Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten.

37 Man is created of haste; now will I show to you My signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.

38 And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

38 And they say: When will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful ?

38 And they say: When will this threat come to pass if you are truthful?

39 If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not avert the Fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be aided...

39 If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped!

39 Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped.

40 Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

40 Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved.

40 Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited.

41 And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

41 Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

41 And certainly apostles before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed.

42 Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Merciful?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.

42 Say: Who guardeth you in the night or in the day from the Beneficent ? Nay, but they turn away from mention of their Lord!

42 Say: Who guards you by night and by day from the Beneficent Allah? Nay, they turn aside at the mention of their Lord.

43 Or do they have gods to defend them other than Us? They are unable [even] to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.

43 Or have they gods who can shield them from Us ? They cannot help themselves nor can they be defended from Us.

43 Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? They shall not be able to assist themselves, nor shall they be defended from Us.

44 But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? So it is they who will overcome?

44 Nay, but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew long for them. See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts ? Can they then be the victors ?

44 Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers until life was prolonged to them. Do they not then see that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall they then prevail?

45 Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

45 Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I warn you only by the Inspiration. But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.

45 Say: I warn you only by revelation; and the deaf do not hear the call whenever they are warned.

46 And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."

46 And if a breath of thy Lord's punishment were to touch them, they assuredly would say: Alas for us! Lo! we were wrong - doers.

46 And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to touch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.

47 And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

47 And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners.

47 And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take account.

48 And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder for the righteous

48 And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion (of right and wrong) and a light and a Reminder for those who keep from evil,

48 And certainly We gave to Musa and Haroun the Furqan and a light and a reminder for those who would guard (against evil).

49 Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

49 Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of doom).

49 (For) those who fear their Lord in secret and they are fearful of the hour.

50 And this [Qur'an] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?

50 This is a blessed Reminder that we have revealed: Will ye then reject it ?

50 And this is a blessed Reminder which We have revealed; will you then deny it?

51 And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well - Knowing

51 And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him,

51 And certainly We gave to Ibrahim his rectitude before, and We knew him fully well.

52 When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"

52 When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion ?

52 When he said to his father and his people: What are these images to whose worship you cleave?

53 They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."

53 They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them.

53 They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.

54 He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."

54 He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error.

54 He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and your fathers, in manifest error.

55 They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"

55 They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester ?

55 They said: Have you brought to us the truth, or are you one of the triflers?

56 He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.

56 He said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that.

56 He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am of those who bear witness to this:

57 And [I swear] by Allah, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."

57 And, by Allah, I shall circumvent your idols after ye have gone away and turned your backs.

57 And, by Allah! I will certainly do something against your idols after you go away, turning back.

58 So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].

58 Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it.

58 So he broke them into pieces, except the chief of them, that haply they may return to it.

59 They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."

59 They said: Who hath done this to our gods ? Surely it must be some evil - doer.

59 They said: Who has done this to our gods? Most surely he is one of the unjust.

60 They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

60 They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham.

60 They said: We heard a youth called Ibrahim speak of them.

61 They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."

61 They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes that they may testify.

61 Said they: Then bring him before the eyes of the people, perhaps they may bear witness.

62 They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"

62 They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham ?

62 They said: Have you done this to our gods, O Ibrahim?

63 He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

63 He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak.

63 He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief of them is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak.

64 So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."

64 Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong - doers.

64 Then they turned to themselves and said: Surely you yourselves are the unjust;

65 Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

65 And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not.

65 Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainly you know that they do not speak.

66 He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

66 He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you ?

66 He said: What! do you then serve besides Allah what brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?

67 Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not use reason?"

67 Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense ?

67 Fie on you and on what you serve besides Allah; what! do you not then understand?

68 They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."

68 They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.

68 They said: Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do (anything).

69 Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."

69 We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,

69 We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim;

70 And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers.

70 And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers.

70 And they desired a war on him, but We made them the greatest losers.

71 And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds.

71 And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples.

71 And We delivered him as well as Lut (removing them) to the land which We had blessed for all people.

72 And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.

72 And We bestowed upon him Isaac, and Jacob as a grandson. Each of them We made righteous.

72 And We gave him Ishaq and Yaqoub, a son's son, and We made (them) all good.

73 And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshippers of Us.

73 And We made them chiefs who guide by Our command, and We inspired in them the doing of good deeds and the right establishment of worship and the giving of alms, and they were worshippers of Us (alone).

73 And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command, and We revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us (alone) did they serve;

74 And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

74 And unto Lot we gave judgment and knowledge, and We delivered him from the community that did abominations. Lo! they were folk of evil, lewd.

74 And (as for) Lut, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and We delivered him from the town which wrought abominations; surely they were an evil people, transgressors;

75 And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.

75 And We brought him in unto Our mercy. Lo! he was of the righteous.

75 And We took him into Our mercy; surely he was of the good.

76 And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allah] before [that time], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great flood.

76 And Noah, when he cried of old, We heard his prayer and saved him and his household from the great affliction.

76 And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him, and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity.

77 And We saved him from the people who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a people of evil, so We drowned them, all together.

77 And delivered him from the people who denied Our revelations. Lo! they were folk of evil, therefor did We drown them all.

77 And We helped him against the people who rejected Our communications; surely they were an evil people, so We drowned them all.

78 And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field - when the sheep of a people overran it [at night], and We were witness to their judgement.

78 And David and Solomon, when they gave judgment concerning the field, when people's sheep had strayed and browsed therein by night; and We were witnesses to their judgment.

78 And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgment concerning the field when the people's sheep pastured therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their judgment.

79 And We gave understanding of the case to Solomon, and to each [of them] We gave judgement and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to exalt [Us], along with David and [also] the birds. And We were doing [that].

79 And We made Solomon to understand (the case); and unto each of them We gave judgment and knowledge. And we subdued the hills and the birds to hymn (His) praise along with David. We were the doers (thereof).

79 So We made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers.

80 And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?

80 And We taught him the art of making garments (of mail) to protect you in your daring. Are ye then thankful ?

80 And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, that they might protect you in your wars; will you then be grateful?

81 And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.

81 And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are Aware.

81 And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violent, pursuing its course by his command to the land which We had blessed, and We are knower of all things.

82 And of the devils were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.

82 And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for pearls) for him and did other work, and We were warders unto them.

82 And of the rebellious people there were those who dived for him and did other work besides that, and We kept guard over them;

83 And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful."

83 And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.

83 And Ayub, when he cried to his Lord, (saying): Harm has afflicted me, and Thou art the most Merciful of the merciful.

84 So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allah].

84 Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers;

84 Therefore We responded to him and took off what harm he had, and We gave him his family and the like of them with them: a mercy from Us and a reminder to the worshippers.

85 And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul - Kifl; all were of the patient.

85 And (mention) Ishmael, and Idris, and Dhu'l - Kifl. All were of the steadfast.

85 And Ismail and Idris and Zulkifl; all were of the patient ones;

86 And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.

86 And We brought them in unto Our mercy. Lo! they are among the righteous.

86 And We caused them to enter into Our mercy, surely they were of the good ones.
