Had there not overtaken him a blessing from his Lord he would have been cast upon the wilderness, being condemned.
- Lawla an tadarakahu niAAmatun min rabbihi lanubitha bialAAarai wahuwa mathmoomun (Ⅰ) - Were it not that favour from his Lord had reached him, he would certainly have been cast down upon the naked shore while he was blameworthy. (Ⅱ) - Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate. (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. (Ⅵ)
