VERILY, those who are conscious of God [shall find themselves in the hereafter] amidst gardens and springs, 45 'Enter you them, in peace and security!' 46 We shall remove all rancor from their hearts, and as brethren they shall recline on couches face to face. 47 They will not be affected by any weariness there, and they will never be made to leave." 48 ۞ Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, 49 And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment. 50 And tell them of the guests of Abraham, 51 When they came to Abraham they said: "Peace be upon you!" He replied: "Indeed we feel afraid of you." 52 [The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy." 53 [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Do you give me glad tidings (of a son) when old age has overtaken me? Of what then is your news?" 54 They said, "We have, indeed, given you glad tidings in truth; do not therefore despair." 55 Abraham said: "Who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except the misguided?" 56 He added: "What is your errand O sent ones?" 57 They answered: "We are sent to people lost in sin [who are to be destroyed,] 58 Except for Lot's household, all of whom we shall rescue, 59 except his wife (about whom Allah says that) We have decreed that she shall be among those who stay behind." 60
