And if Our revelations are recited to them, they say: "We have listened, and if we wish, we could have said the same thing. This is nothing except fictional tales of old!"

And they said: "Our god, if this is the truth from You, then send down upon us a rain of stones from the heaven or bring upon us a painful retribution."

And God will not punish them while you are with them, nor will God punish them while they continue to seek forgiveness.

And why should God not punish them when they are turning others away from the Restricted Temple, and they were never its protectors! Its protectors are the righteous; but most of them do not know.

And their contact prayer at the Sanctuary was nothing but noise and aversion. Taste the retribution for what you have rejected.
