Or, are the treasures of your Lord in their keeping? Or, are they the controllers? (37)

Or, do they have a ladder on which they listen? Then let any of them that has listened bring a clear authority. (38)

Or, has He daughters, and they sons? (39)

Or, do you ask them for a wage, so that they become weighed down in debt? (40)

Or, is the Unseen in their keeping, so they are writing it down? (41)

Or, do they desire to outwit? The unbelievers are the outwitted. (42)

Or, do they have a god, other than Allah? Exaltations to Allah above that which they associate! (43)

Even if they saw lumps falling from the sky they would say: 'A massed cloud! ' (44)

So leave them till they encounter their Day in which they shall be thunderstruck. (45)

The Day when their guile shall not relieve them a thing, and they shall not be helped. (46)
