And we send down of the Koran that which is a healing and a mercy to the faithful: But it shall only add to the ruin of the wicked. When we bestow favours on man, he withdraweth and goeth aside; but when evil toucheth him, he is despairing. SAY: Every one acteth after his own manner: but your Lord well knoweth who is best guided in his path. And they will ask thee of the Spirit.27 SAY: The Spirit proceedeth at my Lord's command: but of knowledge, only a little to you is given. If we pleased, we could take away what we have revealed to thee: none couldst thou then find thee to undertake thy cause with us, Save as a mercy from thy Lord; great, verily, is his favour towards thee. SAY: Verily, were men and Djinn assembled to produce the like of this Koran, they could not produce its like, though the one should help the other. And of a truth we have set out to men every kind of similitude in this Koran, but most men have refused everything except unbelief. And they say, "By no means will we believe on thee till thou cause a fountain to gush forth for us from the earth; Or, till thou have a garden of palm-trees and grapes, and thou cause forth- gushing rivers to gush forth in its midst; Or thou make the heaven to fall on us, as thou hast given out, in pieces; or thou bring God and the angels to vouch for thee; Or thou have a house of gold; or thou mount up into Heaven; nor will we believe in thy mounting up, till thou send down to us a book which we may read." SAY: Praise be to my Lord! Am I more than a man, an apostle? And what hindereth men from believing, when the guidance hath come to them, but that they say, "Hath God sent a man as an apostle?" SAY: Did angels walk the earth as its familiars, we had surely sent them an angel-apostle out of Heaven. SAY: God is witness enough between you and me. His servants He scanneth, eyeth. And He whom God shall guide will be guided indeed; and whom he shall mislead thou shalt find none to assist, but Him: and we will gather them together on the day of the resurrection, on their faces, blind and dumb and deaf: Hell shall be their abode: so oft as its fires die down, we will rekindle the flame. This shall be their reward for that they believed not our signs and said, "When we shall have become bones and dust, shall we surely be raised a new creation?" Do they not perceive that God, who created the Heavens and the Earth, is able to create their like? And he hath ordained them a term; there is no doubt of it: but the wicked refuse everything except unbelief. SAY: If ye held the treasures of my Lord's mercy ye would certainly refrain from them through fear of spending them: for man is covetous. We therefore gave to Moses nine clear signs. Ask thou, therefore, the children of Israel how it was when he came unto them, and Pharaoh said to him, "Verily, I deem thee, O Moses, a man enchanted."
