Saheeh International

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

         

Saheeh International

We do not send down the angels except with truth;1 and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.

       

Saheeh International

Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.

       

Saheeh International

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.

        

Saheeh International

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

     

Saheeh International

Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.

       

Saheeh International

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

         

Saheeh International

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

        

Saheeh International

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

       

Saheeh International

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
