سورة الملك، الآية ١٠
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىٓ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١٠
waqālū law kunnā nasmaʿu aw naʿqilu mā kunnā fī aṣḥābi l-saʿīri
And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."
Verse 10 of Surah Al-Mulk (67:10), a Meccan surah, is in juz 29, on page 562 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
The disbelievers will say, “If we had listened attentively, or had thought clearly like the one who can differentiate the truth from falsehood, we would not have been amongst the people of the hellfire. Rather, we would have had faith in the Messengers and believed in whatever they brought, being from the people of Paradise.”
And they will say, “If only we had listened or understood, we would not be among the dwellers of the Blazing Fire.”
And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!"
And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames.
They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"
And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.
And they say, "If we had heard or had considered, in no way would we have been among the companions of the Blaze".
