are good,
even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle thee; so fear Allah, O
ye that understand; that (so) ye may prosper."

P: Say: The evil and the good are not alike even though the plenty of
the evil attract thee. So be mindful of your duty to Allah, O men of
understanding, that ye may succeed.

S: Say: The bad and the good are not equal, though the abundance of the
bad may please you; so be careful of (your duty to) Allah, O men of
understanding, that you may be successful.

Y: O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain
to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the
Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will
forgive those: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

P: O ye who believe! Ask not of things which, if they were made unto
you, would trouble you; but if ye ask of them when the Qur'an is being
revealed, they will be made known unto you. Allah pardoneth this, for
Allah is Forgiving, Clement.

S: O you who believe! do not put questions about things which if
declared to you may trouble you, and if you question about them when
the Quran is being revealed, they shall be declared to you; Allah
pardons this, and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.

005.102
Y: Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account
lost their faith.

P: A folk before you asked (for such disclosures) and then disbelieved
therein.

S: A people before you indeed asked such questions, and then became
disbelievers on account of them.

005.103
Y: It was not Allah who instituted (superstitions like those of) a
slit-ear she-camel, or a she-camel let loose for free pasture, or idol
sacrifices for twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels freed from
work: It is blasphemers who invent a lie against Allah; but most of
them lack wisdom.

P: Allah hath not appointed anything in the nature of a Bahirah or a
Sa'ibah or a Wasilah or a Hami, but those who disbelieve invent a lie
against Allah. Most of them have no sense.

S: Allah has not ordained (the making of) a bahirah or a saibah or a
wasilah or a hami but those who disbelieve fabricate a lie against
Allah, and most of them do not understand.

005.104
Y: When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to
the Messenger": They say: "Enough for us are the ways we found our
fathers following." what! even though their fathers were void of
knowledge and guidance?
