ٱلْعَنْكَبُوت : ٤٨

  • وَمَا And not
  • كُنتَ (did) you
  • تَتۡلُواْ recite
  • مِن before it
  • قَبۡلِهِۦ before it
  • مِن any
  • كِتَٰبٖ Book
  • وَلَا and not
  • تَخُطُّهُۥ (did) you write it
  • بِيَمِينِكَۖ with your right hand
  • إِذٗا in that case
  • لَّٱرۡتَابَ surely (would) have doubted
  • ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ the falsifiers
And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Then [i.e., otherwise] the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.
And you did not use to recite before this, namely, [before] Al-Qur'an, any [other] Book, nor did you write it with your right hand, for, had you been reciting [something] and writing, then those who follow falsehood, the Jews, would have had doubts, about you and would have said, 'What the Torah states is that he will be unlettered (ummee), unable to read or write'.
