Those who said, “God has made a covenant with us, that we shall not believe in any messenger unless he brings us an offering to be consumed by fire.” Say, “Messengers have come to you before me with proofs, and with what you asked for; so why did you assassinate them, if you are truthful?”
كسانى گفتند: ما را با خدا عهدى است كه به هيچ پيامبرى ايمان نياوريم، مگر براى ما قربانيى بياورد كه آتش آن را بخورد. بگو: پيش از من پيامبرانى با معجزه‌ها و آنچه اكنون مى‌خواهيد آمده‌اند، اگر راست مى‌گوييد، چرا آنها را كشتيد؟
