Sorah Al-Ghashiya ( The Overwhelming ) - Verses Number 26
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ ( 1 ) 
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ ( 2 )
Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ ( 3 )
Labouring (hard), weary,-
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً ( 4 )
The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ ( 5 )
The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ ( 6 )
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ ( 7 )
Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ ( 8 )
(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ ( 9 )
Pleased with their striving,-
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ( 10 )
In a Garden on high,
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً ( 11 )
Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ ( 12 )
Therein will be a bubbling spring:
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ ( 13 )
Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ ( 14 )
Goblets placed (ready),
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ ( 15 )
And cushions set in rows,
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ( 16 )
And rich carpets (all) spread out.
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ( 17 )
Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ( 18 )
And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ( 19 )
And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ( 20 )
And at the Earth, how it is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ( 21 )
Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ( 22 )
Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ( 23 )
But if any turn away and reject Allah,-
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ ( 24 )
Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ ( 25 )
For to Us will be their return;
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ( 26 )
Then it will be for Us to call them to account.

- Rules Governing The Criticism Of HadithAn summarised text detailing the rules governing the Criticism of Hadeeth. From its introduction -'A hadith (pl. ahadith) is composed of two parts: the matn (text) and the isnad (chain of reporters). A text may seem to be logical and reasonable but it needs an authentic isnad with reliable reporters to be acceptable; 'Abdullah b. al-Mubarak (d. 181 AH) is reported to have said, "The isnad is part of the religion: had it not been for the isnad, whoever wished to would have said whatever he liked." During the lifetime of the Prophet (SAS) and after his death, his Companions (Sahabah) used to refer to him when quoting his sayings. The Successors (Tabi'un) followed suit; some of them used to quote the Prophet (SAS) through the Companions while others would omit the intermediate authority - such a hadith was known as mursal (loose). It was found that the missing link between the Successor and the Prophet (SAS) might be one person, i.e. a Companion, or two persons, the extra person being an older Successor who heard the hadith from the Companion.'
