وَلَوْلَا
إِذْ
سَمِعْتُمُوهُ
قُلْتُم
مَّا
يَكُونُ
لَنَا
أَن
نَّتَكَلَّمَ
بِهَذَا
سُبْحَانَكَ
هَذَا
بُهْتَانٌ
عَظِيمٌ
wa-law-lā ʾidh samiʿtumūhu qultum mā yakūnu lanā ʾan natakallama bi-hādhā subḥānaka hādhā buhtānun ʿaẓīmun
And why did ye not, when ye heard it, say? - "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to Allah! this is a most serious slander!"
— Abdullah Yusufali
And why did you not, when you heard it, say, ‘It is not for us to say such a thing. [O Allah!] You are immaculate! This is a monstrous calumny!’
