وَکَانَ فِى الْمَدِینَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْط یُفْسِدُونَ فِى الاَْرْضِ وَلاَ یُصْلِحُونَ(( 48 ))

48- AND THERE WERE NINE BANDS IN THE CITY WHO WERE MAKING MISCHIEF IN THE LAND WITH NO REFORMING.

قَالُوا تَقَاسَمُوا بِاللهِ لَنُبَیِّتَنَّهُ وَأَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِیِّهِ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِکَ أَهْلِهِ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ(( 49 ))

49- THEY SAID:ِ ``ALL OF YOU SWEAR BY ALLAH TO MAKE A SURPRISE ATTACK BY NIGHT ON HIM AND HIS FAMILY. THEN WE WILL TELL HIS HEIR, WE WERE NOT PRESENT AT THE SLAUGHTER OF HIS FAMILY AND WE ARE TRUTHFUL.

وَمَکَرُوا مَکْراً وَمَکَرْنَا مَکْراً وَهُمْ لاَ یَشْعُرُونَ(( 50 ))

50- THEY DEVISED A DEVICE, AND WE TOO DEVISED A DEVICE, WHILE THEY DID NOT KNOW.

فَانظُرْ کَیْفَ کَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَکْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَاهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِینَ(( 51 ))

51- SO BEHOLD WHAT WAS THE END OF THEIR DEVICE. WE DESTROYED THEM AND THEIR PEOPLE ALL TOGETHER.

فَتِلْکَ بُیُوتُهُمْ خَاوِیَةً بِمَا ظَلَمُوا إِنَّ فِى ذَلِکَ لاَیَةً لِّقَوْم یَعْلَمُونَ(( 52 ))

52- THOSE ARE THEIR HOUSES DESOLATED DUE TO THEIR OPPRESSION. VERILY IN THAT, THERE IS A SIGN FOR A PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND.

وَأَنجَیْنَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا وَکَانُوا یَتَّقُونَ(( 53 ))

53- AND WE SAVED THOSE WHO BELIEVED, AND WERE AVOIDING EVIL.
