No Weariness Touched Us
وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامࣲ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبࣲ ٣٨
And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
We created the heavens and earth and what is between in six days, and no weariness touched Us.
