An-Nur 24:39 والذين كفروا اعمالهم كسراب بقيعة يحسبه الظمان ماء حتى اذا جاءه لم يجده شييا ووجد الله عنده فوفاه حسابه والله سريع الحساب ٣٩
وَٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوٓاْ
أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ
كَسَرَابِۭ
بِقِيعَةٖ
يَحۡسَبُهُ
ٱلظَّمۡـَٔانُ
مَآءً
حَتَّىٰٓ
إِذَا
جَآءَهُۥ
لَمۡ
يَجِدۡهُ
شَيۡـٔٗا
وَوَجَدَ
ٱللَّهَ
عِندَهُۥ
فَوَفَّىٰهُ
حِسَابَهُۥۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
سَرِيعُ
ٱلۡحِسَابِ
