أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
Am lahum sullamun yastamiAAoona feehi falyati mustamiAAuhum bisul ta nin mubeen in
Or have they a ladder by which they could [ascend to ultimate truths and] listen [to what is beyond the reach of human perception]? Let, then, any of them who has listened [to it] produce a manifest proof [of his knowledge]!
  - Mohammad Asad

Or do they have a stairway, by which they eavesdrop 'on the heavens'? Then let those who do so bring a compelling proof.

Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce warrant manifest!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
