غَافِر : ٨٣

  • فَلَمَّا Then when
  • جَآءَتۡهُمۡ came to them
  • رُسُلُهُم their Messengers
  • بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ with clear proofs
  • فَرِحُواْ they rejoiced
  • بِمَا in what
  • عِندَهُم they had
  • مِّنَ of
  • ٱلۡعِلۡمِ the knowledge
  • وَحَاقَ and enveloped
  • بِهِم them
  • مَّا what
  • كَانُواْ they used (to)
  • بِهِۦ [at it]
  • يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ mock
And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
And when their messengers brought them clear signs, manifest miracles, they, the disbelievers, exulted in the knowledge they, the messengers, possessed, an exultation that entailed mockery and amusement, as they rejected such [knowledge], and there besieged, befell, them that which they used to deride, namely, the chastisement.
