76.1 . Hath there come Upon man ( ever ) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered?

76.2 . Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him ; so We make him hearing , knowing .

76.3 . Lo! We have shown him the way , whether he be grateful or disbelieving .

76.4 . Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire .

76.5 . Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of water of Kafur ,

76.6 . A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink , making it gush forth abundantly ,

76.7 . Because they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide spreading ,

76.8 . And feed with food the needy wretch , the orphan and the prisoner , for love of Him ,

76.9 . ( Saying ) : We feed you , for the sake of Allah only . We wish for no reward nor thanks from you ;

76.10 . Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate .

76.11 . Therefor Allah hath warded from them the evil of that day , and hath made them find brightness and joy ;

76.12 . And hath awarded them for all that they endured , a Garden and silk attire ;

76.13 . Reclining therein upon couches , they will find there neither ( heat of ) a sun nor bitter cold .

76.14 . The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down .

76.15 . Goblets of silver are brought round for them , and beakers ( as ) of glass

76.16 . ( Bright as ) glass but ( made ) of silver , which they ( themselves ) have measured to the measure ( of their deeds ) .

76.17 . There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil ,

76.18 . The water of a spring therein , named Salsabil .

76.19 . There serve them youths of everlasting youth , whom , when thou seest , thou wouldst take for scattered pearls .

76.20 . When thou seest , thou wilt see there bliss and high estate .
