فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ12

قُتِلَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ17

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْشَرَهُ22
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ23
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ24
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا25
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا26
فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا27
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا28
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا29
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا30
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا31
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ32
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ33

وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ35
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ36

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ40
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ41
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ42
