"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith.

When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful":

你们回去见父亲，然后对他说：我们的父亲啊！你的儿子确已偷窃，我们只作证我们所知道的。我们不是保证幽玄的。

他们说：“你们指真主互相盟誓吧！”他们说：“我们必在夜间谋害他，和他的信徒。然后，我们必对他的主说：'他的信徒遇害的时候，我们没有在场，我们确是诚实的人。”
