Aya 72
72
وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ تَعرِفُ في وُجوهِ الَّذينَ كَفَرُوا المُنكَرَ ۖ يَكادونَ يَسطونَ بِالَّذينَ يَتلونَ عَلَيهِم آياتِنا ۗ قُل أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِن ذٰلِكُمُ ۗ النّارُ وَعَدَهَا اللَّهُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۖ وَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

Muhammad Asad

As it is, whenever Our messages are conveyed unto them in all their clarity, thou canst perceive utter repugnance on the faces of those who are bent on denying the truth: they would almost assault those who convey Our messages unto them! Say: "Shall I, then, tell you of something worse than what you feel at present?1 It is the fire [of the hereafter] that God has promised to those who are bent on denying the truth: and how vile a journey's end!"
  • Lt., "worse than this" - i.e., 'more painful than the repugnance which you feel with regard to God's messages".
