He said: "Punishment and wrath have already come upon you from your Lord: dispute ye with me over names which ye have devised - ye and your fathers,- without authority from Allah? then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting."

They say: "Allah hath begotten a son!" - Glory be to Him! He is self-sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have ye for this! say ye about Allah what ye know not?

"If not Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but Allah: He hath commanded that ye worship none but Him: that is the right religion, but most men understand not...

And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

But he had no authority over them,- except that We might test the man who believes in the Hereafter from him who is in doubt concerning it: and thy Lord doth watch over all things.

"Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion!

"(Such) as dispute about the Signs of Allah, without any authority that hath reached them, grievous and odious (is such conduct) in the sight of Allah and of the Believers. Thus doth Allah, seal up every heart - of arrogant and obstinate Transgressors."

Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: It is He Who hears and sees (all things).

These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!

他说：“刑罚和谴怒，必从你们的主来临你们。你们和你们的祖先所定的许多名称，真主并未加以证实，难道你们要为那些名称与我争论吗？你们等待著吧！我的确是与你们一起等待的。”

他们说：“真主以人为子。”光荣归于真主！他是无求的。天地万物都是他的。你们对此事并无明证，难道你们可以假借真主的名义而妄说出自己所不知道的事情吗？

你们舍真主而崇拜的，只是你们和你们的祖先所定的一些（偶像的）名称，真主并未加以证实，一切判决只归真主。他命令你们只崇拜他。这才是正教。但世人大半不知道。

当事情已被判决的时候，恶魔说：“真主确已真实地应许你们，我也曾应许你们，但我对你们爽约了。我对你们本来没有什么权力，不过是我召唤你们，而你们响应我的号召。所以你们不要责备我，应当责备自己，我不能援救你们，你们也不能援救我。我不承认以前你们曾把我配主，不义者必受痛苦的刑罚。”

他对他们所以有权力者，只为我要辨别谁是信仰后世的，谁是怀疑后世的。你的主，是万物的监护者。

我们对你们绝无权力。不然！你们是悖逆的民众。

没有真凭实据，而争论真主的迹象者，据真主和信士看来，是很讨厌的。真主这样封闭一切自大的高傲者的心。

没有真凭实据而争论真主的迹象者，他们的胸中，的确只有一个念头，就是要想达到他们绝不能达到的伟大。故你当求庇于真主，他确是全聪的，确是全明的。

这些偶像只是你们和你们的祖先所定的名称，真主并未加以证实，他们只是凭猜想和私欲。正道确已从他们的主降临他们。
