Quran 2:175 — Al-Baqara, verse 175
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
These are the ones who exchange guidance for error, and forgiveness for torment. What can make them patient in the face of the Fire?
أُولَـٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَالْعَذَابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ فَمَا أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ
ulāika alladhīna ish'tarawū l-ḍalālata bil-hudā wal-ʿadhāba bil-maghfirati famā aṣbarahum ʿalā l-nāri
