Surah Adh-Dhariyat — Ayah 53 (51:53)
أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ ٥٣
English translation (Saheeh International)
Did they suggest it to them?1 Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.
- - i.e., Did the former disbelievers pass on these words to the Makkans so that they repeat the same expressions?
Brief commentary
Did the predecessors amongst the disbelievers and the latter amongst them bequest one another to deny the messengers? No, but rather their transgression has united them on this.
