Nay![1] I swear by this city[2]
2
– this city wherein you have been rendered violable–[1]

7

8
Did We not grant him two eyes,
9
and a tongue and two lips?[1]
10

11

12

13
It is freeing someone's neck from slavery;
14
or giving food on a day of hunger
15
to an orphan near of kin;
16
or to a destitute lying in dust;[1]
17
and, then besides this, he be one of those who believed,[1] and enjoined upon one another steadfastness and enjoined upon one another compassion.[2]
18

19

20
Upon them shall be a Fire that will hem them in.[1]
