﴿٩١﴾

Without diacritics

واذا قيل لهم امنوا بما انزل الله قالوا نؤمن بما انزل علينا ويكفرون بما وراءه وهو الحق مصدقا لما معهم قل فلم تقتلون انبياء الله من قبل ان كنتم مؤمنين

When it is said to them, "Believe in what God Hath sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down To us": yet they reject All besides, even if it be Truth Confirming what is with them. Say: "Why then have ye slain The prophets of God in times Gone by, if ye did indeed Believe?"
