livestock	دواب	Kind, sort, form, shape	نمط
He was tested	ابتُلِىَ	pleasing	مرضية
except	سوى	Sound, intact	سليم
companion	جليس	He loathed	عافَ
corner	ناحية	He was left alone	أُفرِدَ

 ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The story of Ayub, peace of upon him, in the Holy Quran is a story of a different kind, and represents another manifestation of Allah’s bounties upon His believing servants, those who are patient and grateful, and those who are His beloved Prophets, peace be upon all of them.

Ayub, peace be upon him, had plenty of livestock, animals and lands as well as well-pleasing children. He was tested with respect to all of it and lost all of it. Then he was tested by way of physical illness. No part of his body remained sound except his heart and tongue with which he would remember Allah, the Mighty and the Glorious. Even his companions loathed him and he was left alone in a corner of the town. No one would sympathize with him except his wife who would serve him. Even she was forced to serve others for his sake.

CHAPTER 2

صبر ايوب

Ayub’s patience (peace be upon him)

Speaks constantly	يَلهَجُ	Despite all that	رَغم كل  ذلك
He does not blame, reproach	لا يَتَعَتب	He does not complain	لا يَشكُو
He continued	دامَ	He does not complain, grumble	لا يَتَذًمر
Pass by	تَختَلِفُ	lying	مُلقىً

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Despite all this, Ayub, peace be upon him, remained patient and grateful.  His tongue continued to engage in the remembrance and gratefulness of Allah. He would not complain, reproach, grumble or show any signs of anger. He remained in this state for several long years lying around the synagogue of Ban Israel while the livestock would move around his body.
