100. Al-'Adiyat - The Assaulters

1By oath of those that sprint, breathing heavily. (The horses used in Holy War.)
2Striking stones with their hooves, sparking fire.
3And by oath of those who raid at dawn.
4So thereupon raising dust.
5Then penetrate to the centre of the enemy army.
6Indeed man is very ungrateful towards his Lord.
7And indeed he himself is a witness to it.
8And indeed he loves wealth to the extreme.
9So does he not know? When those in the graves are raised,
10And all what lies in the breasts is opened –
11On that day their Lord surely knows all about them!
