ٱلنَّحْل : ٤٣

  • وَمَآ And not
  • أَرۡسَلۡنَا We sent
  • مِن before you
  • قَبۡلِكَ before you
  • إِلَّا except
  • رِجَالٗا men
  • نُّوحِيٓ We revealed
  • إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ to them
  • فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ so ask
  • أَهۡلَ (the) people
  • ٱلذِّكۡرِ (of) the Reminder
  • إِن if
  • كُنتُمۡ you
  • لَا (do) not
  • تَعۡلَمُونَ know
And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.
And We did not send before you anything other than men, to whom We revealed, and [sent] not angels: 'So ask the followers of the Remembrance, those knowledgeable in the Torah and the Gospels; if you do not know', that, then they know it, and you are more likely to believe them than the believers are to believe Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him,
