مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa
Not has strayed your companion and not has he erred,
This fellow-man of yours has not gone astray, nor is he deluded,
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;
Your companion errs not, nor does he deviate.
Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
And not he speaks from the desire.
and neither does he speak out of his own desire:
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.
Nor does he speak out of desire.
Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
Not it (is) except a revelation revealed,
that [which he conveys to you] is but [a divine] inspiration with which he is being inspired
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,
It is naught but revelation that is revealed --
It is not but a revelation revealed,
عَلَّمَهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَىٰ
AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa
Has taught him the (one) mighty (in) power,
something that a very mighty one has imparted to him:
He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,
One Mighty in Power has taught him,
Taught to him by one intense in strength -
