By the star when it descends,

Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

It is not but a revelation revealed,

Taught to him by one intense in strength -

One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.

Then he approached and descended

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

And he certainly saw him in another descent

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

Near it is the Garden of Refuge -
