لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ Qur’an Al-Hijr (15:7)
Law m a tateen a bi a lmal a ikati in kunta mina a l ssa diqeen a
Why dost thou not bring before us angels, if thou art a man of truth?"6
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Cf. {6:8-9}. The reference of the unbelievers to the Prophet's revelation is obviously sarcastic (Zamakhshari); hence my interpolation of the word "allegedly". Although these verses relate primarily to the pagan contemporaries of the Prophet, they broadly describe the negative attitude of unbelievers of all times.

Why don't you bring us the angels, if you are of the truthful ones?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Why do you not bring us the angels, if what you say is true?'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Why bringest thou not angels unto Us, if thou art of the truthful?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?" 1941
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. vi. 8-9, and notes 840, 841. On the part of the unbelievers, this is a mere taunt. They neither believe in Allah nor in angels nor in revelation nor in any but material things. It is ridiculous to suppose that they could be taken seriously.
