They should arrive to it (like) the arrival of cattle and sheltering to it (like) the sheltering of the pigeons. And He -azwj the Glorious Made it as a sign to be humbling to His -azwj Magnificent, and their submission to His -azwj Might.

وَ اخْتَارَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ سُمَّاعاً أَجَابُوا إِلَيْهِ دَعْوَتَهُ وَ صَدَّقُوا كَلِمَتَهُ وَ وَقَفُوا مَوَاقِفَ أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَ تَشَبَّهُوا بِمَلَائِكَتِهِ الْمُطِيفِينَ بِعَرْشِهِ يُحْرِزُونَ الْأَرْبَاحَ فِي مَتْجَرِ عِبَادَتِهِ And -azwj He -azwj Chooses from His -azwj creatures, listeners who are responding to Him -azwj of His ‑azwj Call, and they are ratifying His -azwj Word, and they are standing in the standing spots of His -azwj Prophets -as , and they are resembling with His -azwj Angels circling His -azwj Throne, achieving the profits in the shop of His -azwj worship.
