(Ⅱ) - Had there not overtaken him a blessing from his Lord he would have been cast upon the wilderness, being condemned. (Ⅲ) - لَّوْلَا أَن تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ (Ⅳ) - Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace.
