Would any of you, being a man well advanced in age with helpless children to support, like to have a garden of dates and grapes, watered by rivers and containing all kinds of fruits, stricken by a fiery whirlwind and utterly scorched? Thus God makes His signs clear to you, so that you may reflect.
あなたがたの中，ナツメヤシやブドウの園を持ち，川が下を流れ，そこに凡ての果実があっても，自分は既に年老い，その子はまだ幼弱でおまけに旋風が猛火を伴ってきて，（全部）焼き払うようなことを望む者があろうか。このようにアッラーは，あなたがたに印を説き明かされる。恐らくあなたがたは反省するであろう。
