These (people of the right hand) consist of many from the ancient 39 And a multitude of those of later time. 40 The Companions of the Left. O Companions of the Left! 41 In hot wind and boiling water, 42 in the shadow of a smoking blaze, 43 neither cool nor good. 44 They were endowed with good things 45 and persisted in the Great Sin, 46 And they used to say, "When we are dead and have turned into dust and bones, will we surely be raised again?" 47 and perhaps, too, our forebears of old?" 48 Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times, 49 Will be gathered together on a certain day which is predetermined. 50 "Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!- 51 "You verily will eat of the trees of Zaqqum. 52 And fill (your) bellies with it; 53 and drink boiling water on top of that, 54 drinking it as thirsty camels do.” 55 This shall be their hospitality on the Day of Doom. 56 It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth? 57 Have you considered the seed you spill? 58 Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? 59 We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome, 60 that We will change you and cause you to grow again in a way you do not know. 61 You have known the first growth; so why will you not remember? 62 And have you seen that [seed] which you sow? 63 Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth? 64 If We will We can make it like dry trampled hay, so you would keep crying out. 65 Verily we are undone. 66 nay, we are deprived [altogether]." 67 So what is your opinion regarding the water that you drink? 68 Is it you that send it down from the clouds or We? 69 If We will, We would make it bitter, why then do you not give thanks? 70 So what is your opinion regarding the fire which you kindle? 71 Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it? 72 It is We who have made it as a reminder and a means of comfort for the people. 73 Glorify, then, (O Prophet), the name of your Great Lord. 74
