  34. 34Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poorوَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ

  43. 43[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worldsتَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
  44. 44And if Muḥammad had made up about Us some [false] sayingsوَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ
  45. 45We would have seized him by the right handلَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ
  46. 46Then We would have cut from him the aortaثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ
  47. 47And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from himفَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَٰجِزِينَ
