He said, "He says she is a heifer, neither yoked to plow the earth, nor to irrigate the field; sound without blemish." They said, "Now you have brought the truth." So they slew her; though they almost did not.
And recall when you killed a person, and disputed in the matter; but Allah was to expose what you were hiding.
We said, "Strike him with part of it." Thus Allah brings the dead to life; and He shows you His signs, that you may understand.
Then after that your hearts hardened. They were as rocks, or even harder. For there are some rocks from which rivers gush out, and others that splinter and water comes out from them, and others that sink in awe of Allah. Allah is not unaware of what you do.
Do you hope that they will believe in you, when some of them used to hear the Word of Allah, and then deliberately distort it, even after understanding it?
And when they come across those who believe, they say, "We believe," but when they come together privately, they say, "Will you inform them of what Allah has disclosed to you, so that they might dispute with you concerning it before your Lord?" Do you not understand?
Do they not know that Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal?
And among them are uneducated who know the Scripture only through hearsay, and they only speculate.
So woe to those who write the Scripture with their own hands, and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may exchange it for a little price. Woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn.
And they say, "The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days." Say, "Have you received a promise from Allah—Allah never breaks His promise—or are you saying about Allah what you do not know?"
