44وَما آتَيناهُم مِن كُتُبٍ يَدرُسونَها ۖ وَما أَرسَلنا إِلَيهِم قَبلَكَ مِن نَذيرٍMuhammad AsadAnd yet, [O Muhammad,] never have We vouchsafed them any revelations which they could quote,1 and neither have We sent unto them any warner before thee.Lit., "which they could study", i.e., in support of the blasphemous beliefs and practices inherited from their ancestors. Cf. 30:35, which expresses a similar idea.
