النحل — An-Nahl Ayat 35
وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اَشْرَكُوْا لَوْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ شَيْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَآ اٰبَاۤؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚفَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِيْنُ
Wa qālal-lażīna asyrakū lau syā'allāhu mā ‘abadnā min dūnihī min syai'in naḥnu wa lā ābā'unā wa lā ḥarramnā min dūnihī min syai'(in), każālika fa‘alal-lażīna min qablihim, fahal ‘alar-rusuli illal-balāgul-mubīn(u).
"And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?"
