Surah 32. As-Sajda, Ayah 16
| تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ |
| Asad | : | [and] who are im-pelled to rise14 from their beds [at night] to call out to their Sustainer in fear and hope; and who spend on others out of what We provide for them as sus-tenance. |
| Malik | : | Who forsake their beds and invoke their Rabb with fear and hope; and they spend in charity out of the sustenance which We have given them. |
| Pickthall | : | Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of what we have bestowed on them. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep the while they call on their Lord in Fear and Hope: and they spend (in charity) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them. 3648 3649 |
| Transliteration | : | Tatajafa junoobuhum AAani almadajiAAi yadAAoona rabbahum khawfan watamaAAan wamimma razaqnahum yunfiqoona |
Note - 14Lit., "whose sides [i.e., bodies] restlessly rise".

Note - 3648Men and women "breathless with adoration" shun soft,
comfortable beds, and luxurious sleep. Their limbs are
better exercised in offices of devotion and prayer,
especially by night. Commentators specially refer this to
Prayers called Tahajjud, which are offered after midnight
in the small hours of the morning.
|
Note - 3649In Fear and Hope: in spiritual fear lest their dedication
to Allah should not be sufficiently worthy to be
accepted, and a spiritual longing or hope that their
shortcomings will be overlooked by the Mercy of Allah.
And their adoration is not shown only in Prayer, but also
in practical Service and Charity, out of whatever gifts
they may have received from Allah.
