لقد كان في قصصهم عبرة لاولي الالباب ما كان حديثا يفترى ولكن تصديق الذي بين يديه وتفصيل كل شيء وهدى ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون

There is, in their stories, Instruction for men endued With understanding. It is not A tale invented, but a confirmation Of what went before it,— A detailed exposition Of all things, and a Guide And a Mercy to any such As believe.
