theirs will be a fair reward. 3. Wherein they will abide forever; 4. And to warn those who
say: Allah has chosen a son, 5. (A thing) whereof they have no knowledge, nor (had) you
fathers. Dreadful is the word that comes out of their mouths. They say nothing but a lie.
6. Yet it may be, if they believe not in this statement, that you (Muhammad) will torment

We shall make all that is therein a barren mound.
