Yet [thus it is] that whenever a servant of God stands up in prayer to Him, they [who are bent on denying the truth] would gladly overwhelm him with their crowds.

"Yet when the Devotee of God stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd."

And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded on him, almost stifling.

And when the Servant of Allah stood up praying to Him, they well-nigh crowded him (to death).

And that when the Servant of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."
