Translation of the verse 17 from Surah Al-Qalam : Number of verses 52 - - page 565 - Part 29.
Verily, We have tried them as We tried the people of the garden, when they swore to pluck the fruits of the (garden) in the morning,
Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning
(68:17) We have put them [i.e., the Makkans] to test even as We put to test the owners of the orchard *12 when they vowed that they would gather the fruit of their orchard in the morning,
*12) Here, one should also keep Al-Kahf: 32-44 in view, in which the parable of the owners of two gardens has been cited for teaching a lesson.
