journey-stages": but they wronged themselves (therein). At length We
made them as a tale (that is told), and We dispersed them all in
scattered fragments. Verily in this are Signs for every (soul that is)
patiently constant and grateful.

P: But they said: Our Lord! Make the stage between our journeys longer.
And they wronged themselves, therefore We made them bywords (in the
land) and scattered them abroad, a total scattering. Lo! herein verily

journeys; and they were unjust to themselves so We made them stories

and your Lord is the Preserver of all things.

no power,- not the weight of an atom,- in the heavens or on earth: No
(sort of) share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to
Allah."

P: Say (O Muhammad): Call upon those whom ye set up beside Allah! They
possess not an atom's weight either in the heavens or in the earth, nor
have they any share in either, nor hath He an auxiliary among them.
