﴿ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَوْ كَانَ خَيْرًۭا مَّا سَبَقُونَآ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَٰذَآ إِفْكٌۭ قَدِيمٌۭ ﴾

“But they who are bent on denying the truth speak thus of those who have attained to faith: “If this [message] were any good, these [people] would not have preceded us in accepting it!” And since they refuse to be guided by it, they will always say, “This is [but] an ancient falsehood!””

(And those who disbelieve) Asad, Ghatafan and Hanzalah (say of those who believe) Juhaynah, Muzaynah and Aslam: (If it had been (any) good) if what Muhammad (pbuh) says had any good or truth in it, (they would not have been before us in attaining it) Juhaynah, Muzaynah and Aslam would not have been first to accept it. (And since they will not be guided by it) and since Asad and Ghatafan do not believe in Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an, (they say: This is an ancient lie) this Qur'an is an ancient lie;
