We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful":

Bir de Rabbin, Âdemoğullarından, bellerindeki zürriyetlerini alıp da onları kendi nefislerine şahit tutarak: Ben sizin Rabbiniz değil miyim?" dediği vakit, "pekâlâ Rabbimizsin, şahidiz" dediler. (Bunu) kıyamet günü "Bizim bundan haberimiz yoktu." demeyesiniz diye (yapmıştık).
