Chapter 68, Page 564, Juz 29

1. Nûn. [These letters (Nun, etc.) are one of the miracles of the Qur’an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. By the pen and by what they (the angels) write (in the Records of men). 2. You (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), by the Grace of your Lord, are not mad. 3. And Verily, for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) will be an endless reward. 4. And Verily, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are on an exalted (standard of) character. 5. You will see, and they will see, 6. Which of you is afflicted with madness. 7. Verily, your Lord is the Best Knower of him who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Knower of those who are guided. 8. So (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) obey you not the deniers [(of Islâmic Monotheism - those who belie the Verses of Allâh), the Oneness of Allâh, and the Messengership of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم] 9. They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them: so they (too) would compromise with you. 10. And (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) obey you not everyone Hallaf Mahîn (the one who swears much and is a liar or is worthless). [Tafsir At-Tabari] 11. A slanderer, going about with calumnies, 12. Hinderer of the good, transgressor, sinful, 13. Cruel, and moreover base-born (of illegitimate birth). 14. (He was so) because he had wealth and children. 15. When Our Verses (of the Qur’ân) are recited to him, he says: "Tales of the men of old!" 16. We shall brand him on the snout (nose)!
