Ash-Shuraa 42:14 — English Translation 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

They did not split ˹into sects˺ out of mutual envy until knowledge came to them.¹ Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord for an appointed term,² the matter would have certainly been settled between them ˹at once˺. And surely those who were made to inherit the Scripture³ after them are truly in alarming doubt about this ˹Quran˺.
