SURAH AL-‘AADIYAAT (THE ASSAULTERS)
There are 11 verses in this surah and it was revealed in Mecca. In a tradition from the Holy Prophet (S) it is said that the reward for reciting this surah is equivalent to ten times the number who are present in ‘Arafah and Muzdalifa at the time of Hajj.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that those people who recite surah al-‘Aadiyaat everyday will be counted from the companions of Ameerul Mu’mineen (a.s.) and it has also been narrated that reciting this surah daily carries the reward of reciting the entire Qur’an. If a person has many creditors, recitation of this surah will help clear his debts.
If recited by a person in fear, this surah brings him to safety; if recited by a hungry person, it helps in his finding sustenance; if recited by a thirsty person, his thirst will be quenched.
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
وَالْعٰدِيٰتِ ضَبْحًا ۙ(1)
(1) I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
فَالْمُوْرِيٰتِ قَدْحًا ۙ(2)
(2) Then those that produce fire striking,
فَالْمُغِيْرٰتِ صُبْحًا ۙ(3)
(3) Then those that make raids at morn,
فَاَثَرْنَ بِهٖ نَقْعًا ۙ(4)
(4) Then thereby raise dust,
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهٖ جَمْعًا ۙ(5)
(5) Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهٖ لَكَنُوْدٌ ۚ(6)
(6) Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
وَاِنَّهٗ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ لَشَهِيْدٌ ۚ(7)
(7) And most surely he is a witness of that.
وَاِنَّهٗ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيْدٌ ؕ(8)
(8) And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ اِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى الْقُبُوْرِۙ(9)
(9) Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى الصُّدُوْرِۙ(10)
(10) And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
اِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيْرٌ(11)
(11) Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
