Translation of Surah Al-Hijr, ayah 72 (15:72)

لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ ٧٢

By your life ˹O Prophet˺,¹ they certainly wandered blindly, intoxicated ˹by lust˺.

This is the only time in the Quran where Allah swears by the life of a human being. Elsewhere Allah swears by the sun, the moon, the stars, and other marvels of His creation.
