Surah 21. Al-Anbiyaa, Ayah 41
| وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- la- qad istuhzi' bi- rusul min qabli -ka fa- h.aaqa bi- 'alladhena sakhiro min -hum maa kaano bi- -hi yastahzi'on |
| Pickthall | : | Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them. |
| Asad | : | And, indeed, [O Muhammad, even] before thy time have [God's] apostles been derided - but those who scoffed at them were [in the end] overwhelmed by the very thing which they had been wont to deride.52 |
| Malik | : | As for their scoffing, the Rasools before you were also scoffed at; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the very thing at which they used to scoff. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Mocked were (many) apostles before thee; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked. 2701 |

corresponding note [9].

Note - 2701The same verse occurs at vi. 10, where see n. 843. 'What
they are mocking at now will be in a position to mock
them in due time.'
