Were Allah to take humans to task because of what they have earned, He would not leave any living being on its back. But He respites them until a specified time, and when their time comes, [He retributes them in accordance with their works], for Allah has been watching His servants.
もしアッラーが，人間をその所業によって罰されるならば，地上に，一人の生存者も残されなかったであろう。だがかれは期限を定めて，かれらを猶予なされた。だが，かれらの期限が到来すれば，本当にアッラーはしもべたちの監視者であられる。
