40*	Ask thou of them, which of them will stand surety for that! 
| |41*	Or have they some "Partners" (in Godhead)? Then let them produce their "partners", if they are truthful! 
| |42*	The Day that the Shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to prostrate, but they shall not be able,- 
| |43*	Their eyes will be cast down,- ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused). 
| |44*	Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We draw them on little by little from directions they perceive not. 
| |45*	A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan. 
| |46*	Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?- 
| |47*	Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down? 
| |48*	So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony. 
| |49*	Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace.
