How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 38:7 — 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 →

Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
We have not heard of this in later religion. This is naught but an invention
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
We heard not of this in the previous creed. It is but an imposture
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
we never heard this in any other sect; this is nothing but a fiction
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
what We heard by this in the creed of the last if this except an invention

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.
