And verily We gave Moses the Scripture the Torah but differences arose concerning it in terms of some affirming the truth of it and others denying it as with the Qur’ān; and were it not for a Word that had already preceded from your Lord to defer the reckoning and requital of creatures until the Day of Resurrection judgement would have been made between them in this world concerning that over which they differed; for indeed they the deniers of it are in grave doubt concerning it doubt which leads to utter uncertainty.
- 41:4545
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ ۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِنْهُ مُرِيبٍ
Verily We gave Moses the Book; but they began to differ about it. If the Word of your Lord had not preceded it the matter would have been settled between them. They are still in doubt about it and uneasy.
