010.049 Y: Say: "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah willeth. To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation)."
P: Say: I have no power to hurt or benefit myself, save that which Allah willeth. For every nation there is an appointed time. When their time cometh, then they cannot put it off an hour, nor hasten (it).

010.050 Y: Say: "Do ye see,- if His punishment should come to you by night or by day,- what portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten?"
P: Say: Have ye thought: When His doom cometh unto you as a raid by night, or in the (busy) day; what is there of it that the guilty ones desire to hasten?
S: Say: Tell me if His punishment overtakes you by night or by day! what then is there of it that the guilty would hasten on?
010.051 Y: "Would ye then believe in it at last, when it actually cometh to pass?" (It will then be said): 'Ah! now? and ye wanted (aforetime) to hasten it on!'
P: Is it (only) then, when it hath befallen you, that ye will believe? What! (Believe) now, when (until now) ye have been hastening it on (through disbelief)?
S: And when it comes to pass, will you believe in it? What! now (you believe), and already you wished to have it hastened on.
010.052 Y: "At length will be said to the wrong-doers: 'Taste ye the enduring punishment! ye get but the recompense of what ye earned!'"
