14 Preface ذوقوا فِتنَتَكُم هٰذَا الَّذي كُنتُم بِهِ تَستَعجِلونَYusuf Ali“Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!”1They used to say scoffingly, “if there is to be punishment for our sins, let it come at once!” When it comes, they will know what a terrible thing it is! Cf. 26:204 n. 3230.
