(And if Our revelations) the verses of the Qur'an (are recited unto them) unto the disbelievers of Mecca (in plain terms) expositing the lawful and the unlawful, (they say: This) i.e. Muhammad (pbuh) (is naught else than a man who would turn you away) bar you (from what your fathers used to worship) of idols; (and they say: This) what Muhammad (pbuh) say (is naught else than an invented lie. Those who disbelieve) the disbelievers of Mecca (say of the Truth) the Qur'an (when it reacheth them) when Muhammad (pbuh) brings it to them: (This is naught else than mere magic) this is nothing but a manifest lie.
- 34:4343
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالُوا مَا هَٰذَا إِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَقَالُوا مَا هَٰذَا إِلَّا إِفْكٌ مُفْتَرًى ۚ وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ
When Our clear revelations are read out to them, they say: "This is only a man who wants to turn you away from what your fathers used to worship." And they say: "This is nothing but a fabricated lie." And those who do not believe say of the truth when it has reached them: "This is nothing but pure sorcery."
