Sura 43 Az-Zukhruf (The Ornaments of gold), ayah 17

  1. وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُمْ بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ

    Translation by words

    وَإِذَا
    And when
    بُشِّرَ
    is given good news,
    أَحَدُهُم
    (to) one of them,
    بِمَا
    of what
    ضَرَبَ
    he sets up
    لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ
    for the Most Gracious
    مَثَلًا
    (as) a likeness,
    ظَلَّ
    becomes
    وَجْهُهُۥ
    his face
    مُسْوَدًّا
    dark
    وَهُوَ
    and he
    كَظِيمٌ
    (is) filled with grief.

    And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.

    43:17
