Translation

EN

If (We had) not (sent thee to the Quraish),- in case a calamity should seize them for (the deeds) that their hands have sent forth, they might say: "Our Lord! why didst Thou not sent us a messenger? We should then have followed Thy Signs and been amongst those who believe!"

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

and may not say, if a disaster should befall them as a result of what they have done with their own hands, ‘Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we might have followed Your message and become believers.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Otherwise, if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them), they might say: Our Lord! Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us, that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers?

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers?"...

ولولا أن ينزل بهؤلاء الكفار عذاب بسبب كفرهم بربهم، فيقولوا: ربنا هلا أرسلت إلينا رسولا من قبل، فنتبع آياتك المنزلة في كتابك، ونكون من المؤمنين بك.
