ٱلْأَنْعَام : ١١٤

  • أَفَغَيۡرَ Then is (it) other than
  • ٱللَّهِ Allah
  • أَبۡتَغِي I seek
  • حَكَمٗا (as) judge
  • وَهُوَ while He
  • ٱلَّذِيٓ (is) the One Who
  • أَنزَلَ has revealed
  • إِلَيۡكُمُ to you
  • ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ the Book
  • مُفَصَّلٗاۚ explained in detail
  • وَٱلَّذِينَ And those (to) whom
  • ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمُ We gave them
  • ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ the Book
  • يَعۡلَمُونَ they know
  • أَنَّهُۥ that it
  • مُنَزَّلٞ (is) sent down
  • مِّن from
  • رَّبِّكَ your Lord
  • بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ in truth
  • فَلَا so (do) not
  • تَكُونَنَّ be
  • مِنَ among
  • ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ the ones who doubt
[Say], "Then is it other than Allāh I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] explained in detail?" And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters.
The following was revealed when they asked the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him to appoint an arbiter between him and themselves. Say: Shall I seek, demand, other than God as a judge, an arbiter between you and me, when it is He Who revealed to you the Book, Al-Qur'an, clearly explained?, wherein truth is distinguished from falsehood. Those to whom We have given the Scripture, the Torah, the likes of 'Abd Allaah ibn Salaam and his companions, know that it is revealed (read munzal or munazzal) from your Lord in truth; so do not be of the waverers, the doubters, regarding it: this is intended to affirm to the disbelievers that it is the truth.
