Kitap ehlinden bir takımı şöyle dedi: "İnananlara indirilene günün başında inanın, sonunda inkar edin ki, belki dönerler ve dininize uyanlardan başkasına inanmayın". De ki: "Doğru yol Allah'ın yoludur". Ve yine başkasına da verildiğine veya Rabbinizin katında Müslümanların karşı delil getirip sizi alt edeceğine inanmayın, derler. De ki: "Doğrusu bol nimet Allah'ın elindedir, onu dilediğine verir. Allah'ın fazlı her şeyi kaplar, O her şeyi bilir".
