Y: If (We had) not (sent thee to the Quraish),- in case a calamity
should seize them for (the deeds) that their hands have sent forth,
they might say: "Our Lord! why didst Thou not sent us a messenger? We
should then have followed Thy Signs and been amongst those who

Y: Say: "Then bring ye a Book from Allah, which is a better guide than
either of them, that I may follow it! (do), if ye are truthful!"

P: Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Then bring a scripture from the presence
of Allah that giveth clearer guidance than these two (that) I may
follow it, if ye are truthful.

S: Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah which is a better guide
than both of them, (that) I may follow it, if you are truthful.
