We shall have you recite [the Quran], then you will not forget [any of it]

əльлəз̃ии йəслəə ннəəрōль-кубрōō

—he who will enter the Great Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ١٣

c̃уммə лəə йəмууту фииhəə вəлəə йəhйəə

then he will neither live in it, nor die.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ١٤
