BUT NAY! I call to witness all that you can see, 38 And what you do not see, 39 Behold, this [Qur'an] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 40 It is not the word of a poet but only a few of you have faith, 41 nor the speech of a soothsayer; little do you remember. 42 It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. 43 Had Muhammad invented some words against Us. 44 We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, 45 and would indeed have cut his life-vein. 46 Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath). 47 And verily it is an admonition unto the God-fearing. 48 And indeed We know that some among you are deniers. 49 Surely it is a sorrow to the unbelievers; 50 And verily it is the truth of assured certainty. 51 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great. 52
