and a generation hath succeeded them who inherited the scriptures. they grasp the goods of this low life and say it will be forgiven us. and if there came to them the offer of the like they would accept it . hath not the covenant of the scripture been taken on their behalf that they should not speak aught concerning allah save the truth? and they have studied that which is therein. and the abode of the hereafter is better for those who ward off . have ye then no sense?
فخلف من بعدهم خلف ورثوا الكتاب يأخذون عرض هذا الأدنى ويقولون سيغفر لنا وإن يأتهم عرض مثله يأخذوه ألم يؤخذ عليهم ميثاق الكتاب أن لا يقولوا على الله إلا الحق ودرسوا ما فيه والدار الآخرة خير للذين يتقون أفلا تعقلون
