We raise Messengers only to give good news and to warn. But the unbelievers resort to falsehood in order to rebut the truth with it, and scoff at My revelations and My warnings.

And We send not the Envoys, but good tidings to bear, and warning. Yet do the unbelievers dispute with falsehood, that they may rebut thereby the truth. They have taken My signs, and what they are warned of, in mockery.

And We send not apostles save as bringers of glad tidings and warners and those who disbelieve dispute with falsehood that they rebut thereby the truth and they take My signs and that whereof they are warned as a mockery.

The people of Noah before them also cried lies, and the parties after them every nation purposed against their Messenger to seize him, and disputed with falsehood that they might rebut thereby the truth. Then I seized them and how was My retribution!
