القاف والواو واللام أصل واحد صحيح يقل كلمه، وهو القول من النطق. يقال: قال يقول قولا. والمقول: اللسان. ورجل قولة وقوال: كثير القول. وأما أقوال......................
القول: الكلام على الترتيب، وهو عند المحقق كل لفظ قال به اللسان، تاما كان أو ناقصا، تقول: قال يقول قولا، والفاعل قائل، والمفعول مقول؛ قال سيبويه: واعلم أن قلت في كلام العرب إنما وقعت على أن تحكي بها ما كان كلاما لا قولا، يعني بالكلام الجمل كقولك زيد منطلق وقام زيد، ويعني بالقول الألفاظ المفردة التي يبنى الكلام منها…
Verses 21–40 of 1,321
And well ye knew Those amongst you Who transgressed In the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, Despised and rejected."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:65And remember Moses said To his people: "God commands That ye sacrifice a heifer." They said: "Makest thou A laughing-stock of us?" He said: "God save me From being an ignorant (fool)!"
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:67They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us What (heifer) it is!" He said: "He says: the heifer Should be neither too old Nor too young, but of middling Age: now do what ye are commanded!"
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:68They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us Her colour." He said: "He says: A fawn-coloured heifer, Pure and rich in tone, The admiration of beholders!"
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:69They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us What she is: to us are all heifers Alike: we wish indeed for guidance, If God wills."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:70He said: "He says: a heifer Not trained to till the soil Or water the fields: sound And without blemish." They said: "Now hast thou brought The truth." Then they offered Her in sacrifice, But not with good-will.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:71So We said: "Strike the (body) With a piece of the (heifer)." Thus God bringeth the dead To life and showeth you His Signs: Perchance ye may understand.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:73Behold! when they meet The men of Faith, they say: "We believe": but when They meet each other in private, They say: "Shall you tell them What God hath revealed to you, That they may engage you In argument about it Before your Lord?"— Do ye not understand (their aim)?
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:76Then woe to those who write The Book with their own hands, And then say: "This is from God," To traffic with it For a miserable price!— Woe to them for what their hands Do write, and for the gain They make thereby.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:79And they say: "The Fire Shall not touch us But for a few numbered days:" Say: "Have ye taken a promise From God, for He never Breaks His promise? Or is it that ye say of God What ye do not know?"
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:80And remember We took A Covenant from the Children Of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but God; Treat with kindness Your parents and kindred, And orphans and those in need; Speak fair to the people; Be steadfast in prayer; And practise regular charity. Then did ye turn back, Except a few among you, And ye backslide (even now).
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:83They say, "Our hearts Are the wrappings (which preserve God's Word: we need no more)." Nay, God's curse is on them For their blasphemy: Little is it they believe.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:88When 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?"
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:91And remember We took Your Covenant and We raised Above you (the towering height) Of Mount (Sinai): (Saying): "Hold firmly To what We have given you, And hearken (to the Law)" They said: "We hear, And we disobey" And they had to drink Into their hearts (Of the taint) of the Calf Because of their Faithlessness. Say: "Vile indeed Are the behests of your Faith If ye have any faith!"
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:93Say: "If the last Home, With God, be for you specially, And not for anyone else, Then seek ye for death, If ye are sincere."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:94Say: Whoever is an enemy To Gabriel—for he brings down The (revelation) to thy heart By God's will, a confirmation Of what went before, And guidance and glad tidings For those who believe,—
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:97They followed what the evil ones Gave out (falsely) Against the power Of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but The evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things As came down at Babylon To the angels Hārūt and Mārūt. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; So do not blaspheme." They learned from them The means to sow discord Between man and wife. But they could not thus Harm anyone except By God's permission. And they learned what harmed them, Not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers Of (magic) would have No share in the happiness Of the Hereafter. And vile Was the price for which They did sell their souls, If they but knew!
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:102ye of Faith! Say not (to the Apostle) Words of ambiguous import, But words of respect; And hearken (to him): To those without Faith Is a grievous punishment.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:104And they say: "None Shall enter Paradise unless He be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof If ye are truthful."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:111The Jews say: "The Christians Have naught (to stand) upon; And the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (To stand) upon." Yet they (Profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word Is what those say who know not; But God will judge Between them in their quarrel On the Day of Judgment.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:113
