Surah Al-Baqara · Ayah 74·Madanī

74

ثُمَّ مِّنۢ ذَٰلِكَ فَهِىَ أَوْ وَإِنَّ مِنَ لَمَا مِنْهُ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا مِنْهُ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا مِنْ وَمَا عَمَّا ﴿٧٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder. For indeed, there are stones from which rivers burst forth, and there are some of them that split open and water comes out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
