Sura CIII. The Afternoon [XXVII.]

MECCA.--3 Verses In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful I SWEAR by the declining day! Verily, man's lot is cast amid destruction, 1 Save those who believe and do the things which be right, and enjoin truth and enjoin stedfastness on each other. 1 Said to have been recited in the Mosque shortly before his death by Muhammad. See Weil, p. 328.
