CHAP. CI. The Chapter of Affliction, containing eleven Verses, written at Mecca.

IN the Name of God gracious and merciful. When the extreme affliction shall appear, I will not tell thee in what time this shall be, then shall all men be assembled, stretched out like Quilts, and the mountains shall be like card∣ed wool. Such whose ballance shall be weighty with good works, shall go into Paradise; and they whose ballance shall be light of good works, shall go into hell, they shall go into a fire so hot, that I am not able to express the heat.
