أَمْ
يَقُولُونَ
افْتَرَاهُ
قُلْ
إِنِ
افْتَرَيْتُهُ
فَلَا
تَمْلِكُونَ

مِنَ
اللَّهِ
شَيْئًا
هُوَ
أَعْلَمُ
بِمَا
تُفِيضُونَ
فِيهِ
كَفَى
بِهِ
شَهِيدًا
بَيْنِي
وَبَيْنَكُمْ
وَهُوَ
الْغَفُورُ
الرَّحِيمُ

Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "Had I forged it, then can ye obtain no single (blessing) for me from Allah. He knows best of that whereof ye talk (so glibly)! Enough is He for a witness between me and you! And he is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
— Abdullah Yusufali
Or they say, ‘He has fabricated it.’ Say, ‘Should I have fabricated it, you would not avail me anything against Allah. He best knows what you gossip concerning it. He suffices as a witness between me and you, and He is the All-forgiving, the All-merciful.’
