ذَلِكَ
مِنْ
أَنبَاءِ
الْغَيْبِ
نُوحِيهِ
إِلَيْكَ
وَمَا
كُنتَ
لَدَيْهِمْ
إِذْ
يُلْقُونَ
أَقْلَامَهُمْ
أَيُّهُمْ
يَكْفُلُ
مَرْيَمَ
وَمَا
كُنتَ
لَدَيْهِمْ
إِذْ
يَخْتَصِمُونَ
dhālika min ʾanbāʾi l-ghaybi nūḥīhi ʾilayka wa-mā kunta ladayhim ʾidh yulqūna ʾaqlāmahum ʾayyuhum yakfulu maryama wa-mā kunta ladayhim ʾidh yakhtaṣimūna
This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point).
— Abdullah Yusufali
These accounts are from the Unseen, which We reveal to you, and you were not with them when they were casting lots [to see] which of them would take charge of Mary’s care, nor were you with them when they were contending.
