And remember Our slave, Ayyub (Job) - when he called his Lord, "The Shaitan (Satan) has inflicted weariness and pain upon me."

(Allah said to him,) "Strike (the ground) with your foot: Here is a cool water to bathe, and a drink!"

And We let him have his family and the like of them besides, as a mercy from Us, and a reminder for the people of understanding.

And (We said to him,) "Take (a bundle on thin twigs in your hand, and strike with it, and do not violate your oath. Surely, We found him very enduring. He was really an excellent slave. Surely, he was great in turning (to Us, in penitence and praise).

And remember Our servants - Ibrahim and Ishaq and Ya'qub - men of strength and men of vision.

We chose them for a trait of remembering the (eternal) Home (in the Hereafter).

And surely they are, in Our sight, among the chosen, the best of the righteous.

And remember Ismail and al-Yasa' and Dhul-Kifl. Each of them was among the best of the righteous.

This is a reminder (of what has passed). And surely the God-fearing will have the best place to return:

everlasting gardens, with (their) doors opened for them.
