Al-Muddaththir 74:1–7
Arise and warn
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ ١ قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ٢ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ٣ وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ٤ وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ ٥ وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ٦ وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ ٧
The meaning, simply
O Prophet, you who wrap yourself in your clothes, arise and warn the people, glorify your Lord alone, purify your clothes, stay away from idols, do not give in order to get more back, and be patient for your Lord.
