قَالَ
أَوَلَوْ
جِئْتُكُم
بِأَهْدَى
مِمَّا
وَجَدتُّمْ
عَلَيْهِ
آبَاءَكُمْ
قَالُوا
إِنَّا
بِمَا
أُرْسِلْتُم
بِهِ
كَافِرُونَ
qāla ʾa-wa-law jiʾtukum bi-ʾahdā mimmā wajadtum ʿalayhi ʾābāʾakum qālū ʾinnā bi-mā ʾursiltum bihī kāfirūna
He would say, ‘What! Even if I bring you a better guidance than what you found your fathers following?!’ They would say, ‘We indeed disbelieve in what you are sent with.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
He said: "What! Even if I brought you better guidance than that which ye found your fathers following?" They said: "For us, we deny that ye (prophets) are sent (on a mission at all)."
