and those who disbelieve say of those who believe if it had been good they would not have been before us in attaining it. and since they will not be guided by it they say this is an ancient lie when before it there was the scripture of moses an example and a mercy and this is a confirming scripture in the arabic language that it may warn those who do wrong and bring good tidings for the righteous.
وقال الذين كفروا للذين آمنوا لو كان خيرا ما سبقونا إليه وإذ لم يهتدوا به فسيقولون هذا إفك قديم ومن قبله كتاب موسى إماما ورحمة وهذا كتاب مصدق لسانا عربيا لينذر الذين ظلموا وبشرى للمحسنين
