وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ فَٱخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌۭ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِى شَكٍّۢ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍۢ
How to read it
Wa laqad' 'ātay'nā mūssāl-kitāba fa-kh'tulifa fīhi . walaw'lā kalimatun sabaqat' min rrabbika laquḍiya bay'nahum' . wa'innahum' lafī shakkin mmin'hu murībin
We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein: had it not been that a word had gone forth before from thy Lord, the matter would have been decided between them, but they are in suspicious doubt concerning it.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
