Those who give partners (to Allah) will say: "If Allah had wished, we should not have given partners to Him nor would our fathers; nor should we have had any taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any (certain) knowledge? If so, produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture: ye do nothing but lie."

以物配主的人将说：“假若真主意欲，那末，我们和我们的祖先，都不以物配主，我们也不以任何物为禁物。”他们之前的人，曾这样否认（他们族中的使者），直到他们尝试了我的刑罚。你说：“你们有真知灼见，可以拿出来给我们看看吗？你们只凭猜测，尽说谎话。”
