26. Shuara · verses 197–200

أَوَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَايَةً أَن يَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُاْ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Awalam yakun lahum ayatan an yaAAlamahu AAulamao banee israeela

Is it not a Sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِينَ

Walaw nazzalnahu AAala baAAdi alaAAjameena

Had We revealed it to any of the non-Arabs,

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

Faqaraahu AAalayhim ma kanoo bihi mumineena

And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Kathalika salaknahu fee quloobi almujrimeena

Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners.
