Al-A'raf 7:203 واذا لم تاتهم باية قالوا لولا اجتبيتها قل انما اتبع ما يوحى الي من ربي هاذا بصاير من ربكم وهدى ورحمة لقوم يومنون ٢٠٣
وَإِذَا
لَمۡ
تَأۡتِهِم
بِـَٔايَةٖ
قَالُواْ
لَوۡلَا
ٱجۡتَبَيۡتَهَاۚ
قُلۡ
إِنَّمَآ
أَتَّبِعُ
مَا
يُوحَىٰٓ
إِلَيَّ
مِن
رَّبِّيۚ
هَٰذَا
بَصَآئِرُ
مِن
رَّبِّكُمۡ
وَهُدٗى
وَرَحۡمَةٞ
لِّقَوۡمٖ
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
