Fear the day when no man will stand up for man in the least , and no ransom avail nor intercession matter nor help reach .

And fear the day when no soul will be exchanged for another , nor will they be set free in lieu of compensation , nor will any intercession benefit the disbelievers , nor will they be helped .

and beware a day when no soul for another shall give satisfaction , and no counterpoise shall be accepted from it , nor any intercession shall be profitable to it , neither shall they be helped .

And fear a Day whereon not in aught shall a soul satisfy for a soul , nor shall compensation be accepted therefor , nor shall intercession profit it , nor shall they be succoured .

And fear the Day ( of Judgement ) when no person shall avail another , nor shall compensation be accepted from him , nor shall intercession be of use to him , nor shall they be helped .

And beware of a Day when no soul will avail another soul in any way , and no ransom will be accepted from it , and no intercession will benefit it , and they will not be helped .

And dread the Day when no one shall avail anyone in any way nor shall any ransom be accepted from anyone nor shall intercession profit any body nor shall the offenders be helped from any quarter .

And guard ( yourselves ) against a day when no soul will in aught avail another , nor will compensation be accepted from it , nor will intercession be of use to it nor will they be helped .

Beware of the Day when no soul will compensate for another , neither will any ransom be accepted from it , nor will any intercession benefit it , nor will they be helped .

And fear a Day when no soul for another will compensate a thing , and no equivalent will be accepted from it , neither intercession will benefit it , nor shall they be helped .

And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all , and no compensation will be accepted from it , nor will any intercession benefit it , nor will they be aided .

Have fear of the day when every soul will be responsible for itself , no ransom will be accepted for it , no intercession will be of any benefit to it and no one will receive any help .

And be on your guard against a day when no soul shall avail another in the least neither shall any compensation be accepted from it , nor shall intercession profit it , nor shall they be helped .

and fear a Day when no human being shall avail another . Nor shall ransom be accepted from any of them , nor shall intercession be of any use to them , and none shall be succoured .
