touched him, he is sure to say, "This is due to my (merit): I think not that the Hour (of
Judgment) will (ever) be established; but if I am brought back to my Lord, I have (much)
good (stored) in His sight!" But We will show the Unbelievers the truth of all that they
did, and We shall give them the taste of a severe Penalty.
