ذَلِكَ
بِأَنَّهُ
كَانَت
تَّأْتِيهِمْ
رُسُلُهُم
بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ
فَقَالُوا
أَبَشَرٌ
يَهْدُونَنَا
فَكَفَرُوا
وَتَوَلَّوا
وَّاسْتَغْنَى
اللَّهُ
وَاللَّهُ
غَنِيٌّ
حَمِيدٌ

That was because their apostles would bring them manifest proofs, but they said, ‘Will humans be our guides?!’ So they disbelieved and turned away, and Allah had no need [of their faith] and Allah is all-sufficient, all-laudable.
— Ali Quli Qarai
That was because there came to them messengers with Clear Signs, but they said: "Shall (mere) human beings direct us?" So they rejected (the Message) and turned away. But Allah can do without (them): and Allah is free of all needs, worthy of all praise.
