And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination.

And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, but it has been differed about, and had not a word already gone forth from your Lord, judgment would certainly have been given between them; and most surely they are in a disquieting doubt about it.

And apostles before you were certainly mocked at, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I destroyed them; how then was My requital (of evil)? / Is He then Who watches every soul as to what it earns? And yet they give associates to Allah! Say: Give them a name; nay, do you mean to inform Him of what He does not know in the earth, or (do you affirm this) by an outward saying? Rather, their plans are made to appear fair-seeming to those who disbelieve, and they are kept back from the path; and whom Allah makes err, he shall have no guide.

And if We please, We should certainly take away that which We have revealed to you, then you would not find for it any protector against Us.

And the dwellers of the Rock certainly rejected the messengers; / And We gave them Our communications, but they turned aside from them; / And they hewed houses in the mountains in security.

And had it not been that We had already established you, you would certainly have been near to incline to them a little; / In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a double (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment) after death, then you would not have found any helper against Us.
