In fact, people will testify against their own souls,1

Do not rush your tongue trying to memorize ˹a revelation of˺ the Quran.

It is certainly upon Us to ˹make you˺ memorize and recite it.

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
So once We have recited a revelation ˹through Gabriel˺, follow its recitation ˹closely˺.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ

Then it is surely upon Us to make it clear ˹to you˺.

anticipating something devastating to befall them.
