سورة الأنعام، الآية ١٥٦Surah Al-An'am, ayah 156 (6:156)
أَن تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ عَلَىٰ طَآئِفَتَيۡنِ مِن قَبۡلِنَا وَإِن كُنَّا عَن دِرَاسَتِهِمۡ لَغَٰفِلِينَ ١٥٦
The meaning in English
Lest you (pagan Arabs) should say: "The Book was sent down only to two sects before us (the Jews and the Christians), and for our part, we were in fact unaware of what they studied."
Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan, King Fahd Complex
التفسير الميسر
وأنزلنا هذا القرآن؛ لئلا تقولوا -يا كفار العرب-: إنما أُنزل الكتاب من السماء على اليهود والنصارى، وقد كنا عن قراءة كتبهم في شغل، ونحن ليس لنا بها علم ولا معرفة
