| Dr Kamal Omar And ask them about the town that was by the sea, when they transgress in the matter of As-Sabt when their fish came to them on the day of their Sabt openly on the surface; and the day they do not do temporary suspension, these fish do not come to them. Thus We test them because they had been committing Fisq |
| Dr Munir Munshey Ask them about the town by the seaside that transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. The fish was plentiful in the sea on the day of the Sabbath, but on days other than the Sabbath, there was hardly any fish. Thus We put them through a trial, because they used to commit sinful acts |
| Farook Malik Ask them, about the town which was situated on the sea shore, what happened when they transgressed in the matter of Sabbath. On the day of their Sabbath the fish appeared before them on the surface of the water but on the days other than their Sabbath they never came near them; thus did We tempt them because they transgressed |
| George Sale And ask them concerning the town which stood by the sea. When they profaned the Sabbath; when their fish came to them on their Sabbath day appearing on the surface of the water, but on the day when they did not keep the Sabbath, they came not to them. Thus did We try them because they were rebellious |
| Maududi And ask the people of Moses concerning the town situated along the sea how its people profaned the Sabbath when fish came to them breaking the water´s surface on Sabbath days, and would not come to them on other than Sabbath-days. Thus did We try them because of their disobedience |
