And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown."

Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.

And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

To send down upon them stones of clay,

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.
