39 Preface لَو يَعلَمُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا حينَ لا يَكُفّونَ عَن وُجوهِهِمُ النّارَ وَلا عَن ظُهورِهِم وَلا هُم يُنصَرونَAli Quli QaraiIf only the faithless knew of the time when they will not be able to keep the Fire off their faces and their backs, nor will they be helped!1 That is, had the faithless known their state in hell, they would not ask for the punishment to be hastened.
