And We had surely given Moses the Torah just as We have given you-O Messenger-the Qur'an so his people differed therein: for from them was who believed, and from them was who belied. And were it not for a word that preceded from your Lord with the delay of the punishment from your people it would have surely been decided between them by the destruction of the disbelievers in the moment, and indeed the polytheists are surely in a doubt from the Qur'an intensely suspicious.
