قد ظهر في هذا الظّهور ما لا ظهر في أزل الآزال ومن المشرکین من رأی وقال هذا ساحر افتری علی الله أَلَا إنّهم قوم مدحضون

There hath appeared in this Revelation what hath never appeared before. As to the infidels that have witnessed what hath been manifested, they murmur and say: “Verily, this is a sorcerer who hath devised a lie against God.” They are indeed an outcast people.
