Indeed the pious are amidst Gardens and springs. 45 "Enter in peace and tranquility," (they will be told). 46 We shall cleanse their hearts of all traces of ill-will; they will be like brethren seated on couches facing one another. 47 There shall touch them no toil therein, nor therefrom they shall ever be driven out. 48 ۞ Tell My servants that I alone am the Forgiving, the Merciful One, 49 And that My Penalty will be indeed the most grievous Penalty. 50 And inform them of the guests of Ibrahim: 51 When they entered upon him, they said, Peace. He said: Surely we are afraid of you. 52 Said they: "Fear not! Behold, we bring thee the glad tiding of [the birth of] a son who will be endowed with deep knowledge." 53 He said, “Do you convey to me the glad tidings upon old age reaching me? So upon what do you convey glad tidings?” (* Prophet Ibrahim said this out of surprise.) 54 "We have given you the happy tidings of a truth," they replied. "So do not be one of those who despair." 55 He said: "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, but such as go astray?" 56 Messengers, what is your task?" 57 They said, "We have been sent forth to a guilty people." 58 Except Lut's followers: We will most surely deliver them all, 59 except his wife (about whom Allah says that) We have decreed that she shall be among those who stay behind." 60
