- from their loins
- their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves,
(saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They
said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of
Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful":

P: And (remember) when thy Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam,
from their reins, their seed, and made them testify of themselves,
(saying): Am I not your Lord? They said: Yea, verily. We testify. (That
was) lest ye should say at the Day of Resurrection: Lo! of this we were
unaware;

S: And when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from
their backs, their descendants, and made them bear witness against
their own souls: Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes! we bear witness.
Lest you should say on the day of resurrection: Surely we were heedless

Y: Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent Our signs, but he
passed them by: so Satan followed him up, and he went astray.

P: Recite unto them the tale of him to whom We gave Our revelations, but
he sloughed them off, so Satan overtook him and he became of those who
lead astray.

S: And recite to them the narrative of him to whom We give Our

overtakes him, so he is of those who go astray.

007.176
Y: If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs;
but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His
