وَمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّن كُتُبٍ يَدْرُسُونَهَا ۖ وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِن نَّذِيرٍ
Wam a a tayn a hum min kutubin yadrusoonah a wam a arsaln a ilayhim qablaka min na th eer in
And yet, [O Muhammad,] never have We vouchsafed them any revelations which they could quote,54 and neither have We sent unto them any warner before thee.
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "which they could study", i.e., in support of the blasphemous beliefs and practices inherited from their ancestors. Cf. 30:35 , which expresses a similar idea.

In fact, neither had We given them books to study, nor had We sent to them any Warner before you.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'They say so even though' We had never given them any scriptures to study, nor did We ever send them a warner before you 'O Prophet'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And We have given them no Scriptures which they study, nor sent We unto them, before thee, any warner.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
But We had not given them Books which they could study nor sent apostles to them before thee as Warners. 3855
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The ancestors (as in the case of the Arabs of the Times of Ignorance) had received no revelation of the clear kind which a messenger and a Book bring them. This is a reason for welcoming, not for rejecting new Truth.
