8:31 وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا
قَالُواْ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا لَوْ نَشَاء لَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ هَـذَا إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ
أَسَاطِيرُ الأوَّلِينَ
When Our Signs are rehearsed to them, they say: "We have heard this (before): if we wished, we could say (words) like these: these are nothing but tales of the ancients."
16:24 وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ
قَالُواْ أَسَاطِيرُ الأَوَّلِينَ
When it is said to them, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say, "Tales of the ancients!"
23:44 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا
كُلَّ مَا جَاء أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضاً وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ
أَحَادِيثَ فَبُعْداً لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Then sent We our messengers in succession: every time there came to a people their messenger, they accused him of falsehood: so We made them follow each other (in punishment): We made them as a tale (that is told): So away with a people that will not believe!
27:67 وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا
أَئِذَا كُنَّا تُرَاباً وَآبَاؤُنَا أَئِنَّا لَمُخْرَجُونَ
The Unbelievers say: "What! when we become dust,- we and our fathers,- shall we really be raised (from the dead)?
27:68 لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا
هَذَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
"It is true we were promised this,- we and our fathers before (us): these are nothing but tales of the ancients."
34:19 فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا بَاعِدْ بَيْنَ أَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ
أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقْنَاهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ
شَكُورٍ
But they said: "Our Lord! Place longer distances between our 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.
83:13 إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ
الْأَوَّلِينَ
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
