22:15
مَنكَانَيَظُنُّأَنلَّنيَنصُرَهُٱللَّهُفِىٱلدُّنْيَاوَٱلَْٔاخِرَةِفَلْيَمْدُدْبِسَبَبٍإِلَىٱلسَّمَآءِثُمَّلْيَقْطَعْفَلْيَنظُرْهَلْيُذْهِبَنَّكَيْدُهُۥمَايَغِيظُ١٥

Whoever should think that Allāh will not support him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in this world and the Hereafter - let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath], and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?(15)
