أَن تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ عَلَىٰ طَآئِفَتَيۡنِ مِن قَبۡلِنَا وَإِن كُنَّا عَن دِرَاسَتِهِمۡ لَغَٰفِلِينَ ١٥٦
'An Taqūlū 'Innamā 'Unzila Al-Kitābu `Alá Ţā'ifatayni Min Qablinā Wa 'In Kunnā `An Dirāsatihim Laghāfilīna
Sahih International
[We revealed it] lest you say, "The Scripture was only sent down to two groups before us, but we were of their study unaware,"
Abdul Haleem
lest you say, ‘Scriptures were only sent down to two communities before us: we were not aware of what they studied,’
Mohsin Khan/Hilali
Lest you (pagan Arabs) should say: "The Book was only sent down to two sects before us (the Jews and the Christians), and for our part, we were in fact unaware of what they studied."
Taqi Usmani
(Had We not sent this book,) you would (have an excuse to) say, “The Book was sent down only upon two groups before us, (i.e. the Jews and the Christians) and we were unaware of what they read.”
