ٱلْحَجّ : ١٥

  • مَن Whoever
  • كَانَ [is]
  • يَظُنُّ thinks
  • أَن that
  • لَّن not
  • يَنصُرَهُ Allah will help him
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah will help him
  • فِي in
  • ٱلدُّنۡيَا the world
  • وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ and the Hereafter
  • فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ then let him extend
  • بِسَبَبٍ a rope
  • إِلَى to
  • ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky
  • ثُمَّ then
  • لۡيَقۡطَعۡ let him cut off
  • فَلۡيَنظُرۡ then let him see
  • هَلۡ whether
  • يُذۡهِبَنَّ will remove
  • كَيۡدُهُۥ his plan
  • مَا what
  • يَغِيظُ enrages
Whoever should think that Allāh will not support him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in this world and the Hereafter - let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath],1 and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?
Footnotes
1 - i.e., strangle himself.
Whoever supposes that God will not help him, namely, Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him His Prophet, in this world and the Hereafter, let him extend a rope to the ceiling, [to] the roof of his house, fixing it there and [tying it] to his neck, and let him hang himself, that is, let him choke to death because of it, by severing his soul from [any existence on] the earth, as [reported] in the [various] Saheeh compilations. Then let him see whether his strategy, against the Prophet being helped, dispels that which enrages him, about it. In other words, let him choke to death with rage because of it, for it is inevitable.
