  • يَظُنُّونَ guess
And among them are unlettered ones who do not know the Scripture except [indulgement in] wishful thinking, but they are only assuming.
And there are some of them, the Jews, that are illiterate, unlettered, not knowing the Scripture, the Torah, but only desires, lies which were handed down to them by their leaders and which they relied upon; and, in their rejection of the prophethood of the Prophet and fabrications of other matters, they have, mere conjectures, and no firm knowledge.
