إِذْ
تَلَقَّوْنَهُ
بِأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ
وَتَقُولُونَ
بِأَفْوَاهِكُم
مَّا
لَيْسَ
لَكُم
بِهِ
عِلْمٌ
وَتَحْسَبُونَهُ
هَيِّنًا

اللَّهِ
عَظِيمٌ

Behold, ye received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things of which ye had no knowledge; and ye thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of Allah.
— Abdullah Yusufali
when you were receiving it on your tongues, and were mouthing something of which you had no knowledge, supposing it to be a light matter, while it was a grave [matter] with Allah.
