in Scripture and
Wisdom, while, before that, they had been in manifest error.

P: Allah verily hath shown grace to the believers by sending unto them a
messenger of their own who reciteth unto them His revelations, and
causeth them to grow, and teacheth them the Scripture and wisdom;
although before (he came to them) they were in flagrant error.

S: Certainly Allah conferred a benefit upon the believers when He raised
among them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His
communications and purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the
wisdom, although before that they were surely in manifest error.

Y: What! When a single disaster smites you, although ye smote (your
enemies) with one twice as great, do ye say?- "Whence is this?" Say (to

we known how to fight, we should certainly have followed you." They
were that day nearer to Unbelief than to Faith, saying with their lips
