وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَسۡتَمِعُ إِلَيۡكَۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفۡقَهُوهُ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٗاۚ وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ كُلَّ ءَايَةٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهَاۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوكَ يُجَٰدِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٢٥

وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّسْتَمِعُ اِلَيْكَۚ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلٰي قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاؕ وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا كُلَّ اٰيَةٍ لَّا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْا بِهَاؕ حَتّٰٓي اِذَا جَا࢜ءُوْكَ يُجَادِلُوْنَكَ يَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٢٥

And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, "This is not but legends of the former peoples."

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالُواْ قَدۡ سَمِعۡنَا لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَقُلۡنَا مِثۡلَ هَٰذَآ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٣١

And when Our verses are recited to them, they say, "We have heard. If we willed, we could say [something] like this. This is not but legends of the former peoples."

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ مَّاذَا͏ٓ اَنْزَلَ رَبُّكُمْۙ قَالُوْٓا اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٢٤ۙ

And when it is said to them, "What has your Lord sent down?" they say, "Legends of the former peoples,"

لَقَدۡ وُعِدۡنَا نَحۡنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِن قَبۡلُ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٨٣

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَاٰبَا࢜و͏ٔ͏ُنَا هٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٨٣

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٱكۡتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ بُكۡرَةٗ وَأَصِيلٗا ٥

وَقَالُوْٓا اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلٰي عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَّاَصِيْلًا ۝٥

And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

لَقَدۡ وُعِدۡنَا هَٰذَا نَحۡنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبۡلُ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٦٨

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هٰذَا نَحْنُ وَاٰبَا࢜و͏ٔ͏ُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُۙ اِنْ هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝٦٨

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples."

وَٱلَّذِي قَالَ لِوَٰلِدَيۡهِ أُفّٖ لَّكُمَآ أَتَعِدَانِنِيٓ أَنۡ أُخۡرَجَ وَقَدۡ خَلَتِ ٱلۡقُرُونُ مِن قَبۡلِي وَهُمَا يَسۡتَغِيثَانِ ٱللَّهَ وَيۡلَكَ ءَامِنۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ فَيَقُولُ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٧

وَالَّذِيْ قَالَ لِوَالِدَيْهِ اُفٍّ لَّكُمَا͏ٓ اَتَعِدٰنِنِيْٓ اَنْ اُخْرَجَ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ الْقُرُوْنُ مِنْ قَبْلِيْۚ وَهُمَا يَسْتَغِيْثٰنِ اللّٰهَ وَيْلَكَ اٰمِنْࣗۖ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّۚۖ فَيَقُوْلُ مَا هٰذَا͏ٓ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝١٧

But one who says to his parents, "Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?" while they call to Allāh for help [and to their son], "Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth." But he says, "This is not but legends of the former peoples" -

وَاِنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوْهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُوْهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاؕ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِي الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا ۝٥٨

And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register inscribed.

ٱلنَّبِيُّ أَوۡلَىٰ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ مِنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ وَأَزۡوَٰجُهُۥٓ أُمَّهَٰتُهُمۡۗ وَأُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلَىٰ بِبَعۡضٖ فِي كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُهَٰجِرِينَ إِلَّآ أَن تَفۡعَلُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَوۡلِيَآئِكُم مَّعۡرُوفٗاۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَسۡطُورٗا ٦

The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allāh than the [other] believers and the emigrants, except that you may do to your close associates a kindness [through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed.

وَكِتَٰبٖ مَّسۡطُورٖ ٢

وَكِتٰبٍ مَّسْطُوْرٍ ۝٢ۙ

لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ ٢٢

لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَۜيْطِرٍ ۝٢٢ۙ
