لَا تَرْكُضُوا۟ وَٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَـٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُونَ

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."

— Saheeh International

‘Do not try to escape. Go back to your homes and the pleasure you revelled in: you may be questioned.’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Flee not, but return to that wherein you lived a luxurious life, and to your homes, in order that you may be questioned.
