Sura 39
Aya 40
40
مَن يَأتيهِ عَذابٌ يُخزيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيهِ عَذابٌ مُقيمٌ

Yusuf Ali

“Who it is to whom comes a Penalty1 of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that abides.”
  • Cf. 11:93. The two clauses, about those who suffer a Penalty of ignominy and those on whom descends a lasting Penalty, apparently refer to the same person in two different aspects: (1) they suffer shame, and (2) their punishment endures.
