How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 16:101 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →

When We substitute a verse in place of another verse—and God knows best what He reveals—they say, “You are an impostor.” But most of them do not know
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
And when we change one (sign) verse for another, and God knoweth best what He revealeth, they say, "Thou art only a fabricator." Nay! but most of them have no knowledge
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
And whenever we change one verse for another,- God knows best what He sends down. They say, 'Thou art but a forger!' - Nay, most of them do not know
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and when We exchanged sign place of sign and Allah most knowing with what he sends down in stages they said only You a fabricator rather their most not they know

Generated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
