وَإِذَا
تُتْلَى
عَلَيْهِمْ
آيَاتُنَا
بَيِّنَاتٍ
مَّا
كَانَ
حُجَّتَهُمْ
إِلَّا
أَن
قَالُوا
ائْتُوا
بِآبَائِنَا
إِن
كُنتُمْ
صَادِقِينَ
wa-ʾidhā tutlā ʿalayhim ʾāyātunā bayyinātin mā kāna ḥujjatahum ʾillā ʾan qālū ʾtū bi-ʾābāʾinā ʾin kuntum ṣādiqīna
And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them their argument is nothing but this: They say, "Bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
— Abdullah Yusufali
When Our manifest signs are recited to them, their only argument is to say, ‘Bring our fathers back [to life], if you are truthful.’
