Surah The Pen

فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ

And they called one another at morning

أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit

فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ

أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ

Then they approached one another, blaming each other
