VERILY, those who are conscious of God [shall find themselves in the hereafter] amidst gardens and springs, 45 Enter therein in peace, secure. 46 And We shall purge their breasts of all traces of rancour; and they shall be seated on couches facing one another as brothers. 47 No fatigue will touch them nor will they be expelled therefrom." 48 ۞ Announce, (O Muhammad) unto My slaves that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, 49 But My punishment is surely a painful one. 50 Tell them about the guests of Abraham 51 When they entered his presence and said, "Peace!" He said, "We feel 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 Abraham asked, "Are you giving me the glad news of a son in my old age? What reason can you give for such glad news?" 54 They said, "We have, indeed, given you glad tidings in truth; do not therefore despair." 55 He said, “Who is it that despairs from the mercy of his Lord, except those who are astray?” 56 He said: And afterward what is your business, O ye messengers (of Allah)? 57 They said, “We have been sent towards a guilty nation.” 58 Except Lot's family, of whom we shall save all, 59 excepting only his wife, [of whom God says,] 'We have ordained [that,] behold, she should be among those who stay behind!' 60
