He said, “O my Lord, forgive me, and bless me with a kingdom that will not be available to anyone after me. Surely, You are the Bountiful.”

Then We subjugated the wind for him that blew smoothly on his command to wherever he wished,

and (We subjugated to him) the devils (among Jinns), all builders and divers,

and many others held in chains.

This is Our gift. So, do favor (to someone) or withhold (it), with no (requirement to give) account.

He has a place of nearness in Our presence, and an excellent end.

And remember Our servant, Ayyūb - when he called his Lord saying, “The ShaiTān (Satan) has inflicted weariness and pain upon me.”

(Allah said to him,) “Strike (the ground) with your foot: Here is a cool water to bathe, and a drink!”

And We let him have his family and the like of them besides, as a mercy from Us, and a reminder for the people of understanding.

And (We said to him,) “Take (a bundle of) thin twigs in your hand, and strike with it, and do not violate your oath. Surely, We found him very enduring. He was really an excellent servant. Surely, he was great in turning (to Us, in penitence and praise).

And remember Our servants - Ibrāhīm and IsHāq and Ya‘qūb - the men of strength and the men of vision.

We chose them for a trait of remembering the (eternal) Home (in the Hereafter).

And surely they are, in Our sight, among the chosen, the best of the righteous.

And remember Ismā‘īl and Al-Yasa‘ and Dhul-Kifl. Each one of them was among the best of the righteous.

This is a reminder (of what has passed). And surely the God-fearing will have the best place to return:

- everlasting gardens, with (their) doors opened for them.

They will be relaxing in it, calling there for plenteous fruits and drinks;
