Tanzil Quran Text 1.1, Uthmani

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍۢ نَّحْنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

French

Muhammad Hamidullah · Le Saint Coran, traduction Muhammad Hamidullah

Et les associateurs dirent: «Si Allah avait voulu, nous n'aurions pas adoré quoi que ce soit en dehors de Lui, ni nous ni nos ancêtres; et nous n'aurions rien interdit qu'Il n'ait interdit Lui-même». Ainsi agissaient les gens avant eux. N'incombe-t-il aux messagers sinon de transmettre le message en toute clarté?

English

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall · The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)

And the idolaters say: Had Allah willed, we had not worshipped aught beside Him, we and our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught without (command from) Him. Even so did those before them. Are the messengers charged with aught save plain conveyance (of the message)?
