inordinacy, blindly wandering on.

Y: When trouble toucheth a man, He crieth unto Us (in all postures)-
lying down on his side, or sitting, or standing. But when We have
solved his trouble, he passeth on his way as if he had never cried to
Us for a trouble that touched him! thus do the deeds of transgressors
seem fair in their eyes!

P: And if misfortune touch a man he crieth unto Us, (while reclining) on
his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him of the
misfortune he goeth his way as though he had not cried unto Us because
of a misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is what they do made (seeming)

affliction that touched him; thus that which they do is made
fair-seeming to the extravagant.

they would not believe; thus do We recompense the guilty people.

P: Then We appointed you viceroys in the earth after them, that We might
see how ye behave.

S: Then We made you successors in the land after them so that We may see
how you act.

Y: But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not
their hope on their meeting with Us, Say: "Bring us a reading other
than this, or change this," Say: "It is not for me, of my own accord,
to change it: I follow naught but what is revealed unto me: if I were
to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the penalty of a Great Day (to
come)."

P: And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, they who look

change it. Say (O Muham
