لَكُمْ مَّا
لَمْ يَلِدْ
عَنْ اَمْرِىْ
رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ
لَكُمْ مِّيْعَادُ
لَكُمْ دِيْنُكُمْ
اَنَّهُمْ مَّانِعَتُهُمْ
اِلَيْكُمْ مُّرْسَلُوْنَ
عَلَيْكُمْ مَّوْثِقًا
فَهُمْ مُّقْمَحُوْنَ
وَمَاهُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
يَعْتَصِمْ بِاللّٰهِ
فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ
اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ
اَعِظُكُمْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ
فَلَهُمْ اَ جْرُهُمْ
بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ
وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ
