Translation of Verse 45-60

45. Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs.

46. ˹It will be said to them,˺ "Enter in peace and security."

47. We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts. ⁴⁸⁹ In a friendly manner, they will be on thrones, facing one another.

48. No fatigue will touch them there, nor will they ever be asked to leave.

49. Inform My servants ˹O Prophet˺ that I am truly the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful,

50. and that My torment is indeed the most painful.

51. And inform them ˹O Prophet˺ about Abraham's guests

52. who entered upon him and greeted ˹him with˺, "Peace!" He ˹later˺ said, "Surely we are afraid of you." ⁴⁹⁰

53. They reassured ˹him˺, "Do not be afraid! Surely we give you good news of a knowledgeable son."

54. He wondered, "Do you give me good news despite my old age? What unlikely news!"

55. They responded, "We give you good news in all truth, so do not be one of those who despair."

56. He exclaimed, "Who would despair of the mercy of their Lord except the misguided?"

57. He ˹then˺ added, "What is your mission, O messenger-angels?"

58. They replied, "We have actually been sent to a wicked people.

59. As for the family of Lot, we will certainly deliver them all,

60. except his wife. We have determined that she will be one of the doomed."

Commentary

489. i.e., the bitterness they had in their hearts towards other believers who wronged them in the worldly life.

490. As mentioned in 11:69-70, the angels came to Abraham in the form of men and when he offered them food, they did not eat. In ancient Middle Eastern culture, if a guest refused to eat the food provided by their host, it was a sign of ill-will.
