Nor is it the speech of a soothsayer. Little do you remember! read both verbs either in the second person plural or in the third person plural; the mā preceding both verbs is extra intended for emphasis. The meaning is they believed and remembered only very few things of what the Prophet s did things such as his good acts his kindness to kin and abstinence; yet this will be of no avail to them.
- 69:4242
وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Nor is it the word of a soothsayer. Little is it that you reflect!
