طه : ١٣٣

  • وَقَالُواْ And they say
  • لَوۡلَا Why not
  • يَأۡتِينَا he brings us
  • بِـَٔايَةٖ a sign
  • مِّن from
  • رَّبِّهِۦٓۚ his Lord
  • أَوَلَمۡ Has not
  • تَأۡتِهِم come to them
  • بَيِّنَةُ evidence
  • مَا (of) what
  • فِي (was) in
  • ٱلصُّحُفِ the Scriptures
  • ٱلۡأُولَىٰ the former
And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures?1
Footnotes
1 - Is not the Qur’ān an adequate proof of Muḥammad's prophethood and sufficient as a lasting miracle?
And they, the idolaters, say, 'Why does he, Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, not bring us a sign from his Lord?', of the sort which they request. Has there not come to them (read ta'tihim or ya'tihim) the clear proof, the statements, of what is in the former scriptures?, the tales contained in Al-Qur'an relating to past communities and [the details of] their destruction for denying the messengers?
