سورة الشعراء، الآية ٥
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ ٥
wamā yatīhim min dhik'rin mina l-raḥmāni muḥ'dathin illā kānū ʿanhu muʿ'riḍīna
And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
Verse 5 of Surah Ash-Shu’ara (26:5), a Meccan surah, is in juz 19, on page 367 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
Whenever any new reminder that is revealed by the Merciful to these idolaters, which contain His arguments that indicate His Oneness and the truth of His prophet, they turn away from listening to it and accepting it.
No new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate except that they turn away from it.
And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious (Allâh), but they turn away therefrom.
Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.
But there comes not to them a newly-revealed Message from (Allah) Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.
And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.
And in no way does a recent Remembrance come up to them from The All-Merciful except they are veering away from it.
وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
And most of the people, although you strive [for it], are not believers.
يَٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ
No mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play
