Sura 11 Hud, ayah 27

  1. فَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مَا نَرَاكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَاكَ اتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَاذِبِينَ

    فَقَالَ
    So said
    ٱلْمَلَأُ
    the chiefs
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    (of) those who
    كَفَرُوا۟
    disbelieved
    مِن
    from
    قَوْمِهِۦ
    his people,
    مَا
    "Not
    نَرَىٰكَ
    we see you
    إِلَّا
    but
    بَشَرًا
    a man
    مِّثْلَنَا
    like us,
    وَمَا
    and not
    نَرَىٰكَ
    we see you
    ٱتَّبَعَكَ
    followed [you]
    إِلَّا
    except
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    هُمْ
    [they]
    أَرَاذِلُنَا
    (are) the lowest of us
    بَادِىَ
    immature in opinion.
    ٱلرَّأْىِ
    immature in opinion.
    وَمَا
    And not
    نَرَىٰ
    we see
    لَكُمْ
    in you
    عَلَيْنَا
    over us
    مِن
    any
    فَضْلٍۭ
    merit;
    بَلْ
    nay,
    نَظُنُّكُمْ
    we think you
    كَٰذِبِينَ
    (are) liars."

    So the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "We do not see you but as a man like ourselves, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us (and) at first suggestion. And we do not see in you over us any merit; rather, we think you are liars."
