we would have certainly been Allah’s chosen servants.”

Then (once the divine book came to them,) they disbelieved in it. So, very soon they will come to know.

And Our Word has already come to pass in favor of Our servants, the messengers

(that) they are the ones who will be supported,

and verily it is Our army (of chosen servants) that prevails.

So, withdraw your attention from them for some time.

But, watch them. They shall soon see (the reality).
