Ash-Shuraa 42:14 وما تفرقوا الا من بعد ما جاءهم العلم بغيا بينهم ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك الى اجل مسمى لقضي بينهم وان الذين اورثوا الكتاب من بعدهم لفي شك منه مريب ١٤
وَمَا
تَفَرَّقُوٓاْ

مِنۢ
بَعۡدِ
مَا

ٱلۡعِلۡمُ
بَغۡيَۢا
بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ
وَلَوۡلَا
كَلِمَةٞ
سَبَقَتۡ
مِن
رَّبِّكَ
إِلَىٰٓ
أَجَلٖ
مُّسَمّٗى
لَّقُضِيَ
بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ
وَإِنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
أُورِثُواْ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ
مِنۢ
بَعۡدِهِمۡ
لَفِي
شَكّٖ
مِّنۡهُ
مُرِيبٖ
