P:  Then have patience (O Muhammad).  Lo! the promise of Allah is true.  And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them, or (whether) We cause thee to die, still unto Us they will be brought back.

S:  So be patient, surely the promise of Allah is true.  So should We make you see part of what We threaten them with, or should We cause you to die, to Us shall they be returned.

040.078 Y:  We did aforetime send messengers before thee:  of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee.  It was not (possible) for any messenger to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah:  but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods.

P:  Verily We sent messengers before thee, among them those of whom We have told thee, and some of whom We have not told thee; and it was not given to any messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah’s leave, but when Allah’s commandment cometh (the cause) is judged aright, and the followers of vanity will then be lost.

S:  And certainly We sent messengers before you:  there are some of them that We have mentioned to you and there are others whom We have not mentioned to you, and it was not meet for a messenger that he should bring a sign except with Allah’s permission, but when the command of Allah came, judgment was given with truth, and those who treated (it) as a lie were lost.

040.079 Y:  It is Allah Who made cattle for you, that ye may use some for riding and some for food;

P:  Allah it is Who hath appointed for you cattle, that ye may ride on some of them, and eat of some —

S:  Allah is He Who made the cattle for you that you may ride on some of them, and some of them you eat.

040.080 Y:  And there are (other) advantages in them for you (besides); that ye may through them attain to any need (there may be) in your hearts; and on them and on ships ye are carried.

P:  (Many) benefits ye have from them — and that ye may satisfy by their means a need that is in your breasts, and may be borne upon them as upon the ship.

S:  And there are advantages for you in them, and that you may attain thereon a want which is in your breasts, and upon them and upon the ships you are borne.

040.081 Y:  And He shows you (always) His Signs:  then which of the Signs of Allah will ye deny?

P:  And He showeth you His tokens.  Which, then, of the tokens of Allah do ye deny?

S:  And He shows you His signs:  which then of Allah’s signs will you deny?

040.082 Y:  Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them?  They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land:  Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them.
