Y: Their hearts toying as with trifles. The wrong-doers conceal their
private counsels, (saying), "Is this (one) more than a man like
yourselves? Will ye go to witchcraft with your eyes open?"

P: With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong-doers
say: Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb to
magic when ye see (it)?

S: Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counsel together in

Y: Say: "My Lord knoweth (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on
earth: He is the One that heareth and knoweth (all things)."

P: He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the earth.

and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

poet; so let him bring to us a sign as the former (prophets) were sent
(with).

Y: (As to those) before them, not one of the populations which We
destroyed believed: will these believe?

P: Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them
(though We sent them portents): would they then believe?

S: There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will
they then believe?

Y: Before thee, also, the messengers We sent were but men, to whom We
granted inspiration: If ye realise this not, ask of those who possess
the Message.

P: And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men, whom
We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not?

S: And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent
