ٱلذَّارِيَات : ٢٥

  • إِذۡ When
  • دَخَلُواْ they entered
  • عَلَيۡهِ upon him
  • فَقَالُواْ and said
  • سَلَٰمٗاۖ Peace
  • قَالَ He said
  • سَلَٰمٞ Peace
  • قَوۡمٞ a people
  • مُّنكَرُونَ unknown
When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown."
When (idh is an adverbial qualifier of hadeethu dayfi, 'the story of the guests') they entered upon him and said, 'Peace!' - in other words [they said] these very words. He said, 'Peace!' - [also] these very words - [These are] an unfamiliar folk, whom we do not know - he said this to himself (qawmun munkaroona is the predicate of an implicit subject such as haa'oolaa'i, 'these are').
