resting place.

Y: Set forth to them the parable of two men: for one of them We provided
two gardens of grape-vines and surrounded them with date palms; in
between the two We placed corn-fields.
P: Coin for them a similitude: Two men, unto one of whom We had assigned
two gardens of grapes, and We had surrounded both with date-palms and
had put between them tillage.
S: And set forth to them a parable of two men; for one of them We made
two gardens of grape vines, and We surrounded them both with palms, and
in the midst of them We made cornfields.

Y: Each of those gardens brought forth its produce, and failed not in
the least therein: in the midst of them We caused a river to flow.
P: Each of the gardens gave its fruit and withheld naught thereof. And
We caused a river to gush forth therein.
S: Both these gardens yielded their fruits, and failed not aught
thereof, and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst,

Y: (Abundant) was the produce this man had: he said to his companion,
in the course of a mutual argument: "more wealth have I than you, and
more honour and power in (my following of) men."
P: And he had fruit. And he said unto his comrade, when he spake with
him: I am more than thee in wealth, and stronger in respect of men.
S: And he possessed much wealth; so he said to his companion, while he
disputed with him: I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in
followers.

Y: He went into his garden in a state (of mind) unjust to his soul: He
said, "I deem not that this will ever perish,"
P: And he went into his garden, while he (thus) wronged himself. He
said: I think not that all this will ever perish.
S: And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said: I
do not think that this will ever perish,

Y: "Nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) come: Even if
I am brought back to my Lord, I shall surely find (there) something
better in exchange."
P: I think not that the Hour will ever come, and if indeed I am brought
back unto my Lord I surely shall find better than this as a resort.
S: And I do not think the hour will come, and even if I am returned to
my Lord I will most certainly find a returning place better than this.

Y: His companion said to him, in the course of the argument with him:
"Dost thou deny Him Who created thee out of dust, then out of a
sperm-drop, then fashioned thee into a man?
