وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
71. And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ
90. So they turned away from him, departing.
فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ
94. Then the people came toward him, hastening.
وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
138. And at night. Then will you not use reason?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُبِينٌ
156. Or do you have a clear authority?
فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
157. Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ
167. And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
168. "If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
169. We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
170. But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
