Their messengers said, "Can there be doubt about Allāh, Creator of the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you of your sins, and He delays you [i.e., your death] for a specified term." They said, "You are not but men like us who wish to avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us a clear authority [i.e., evidence]."
قَالَتْ Said qālat to them lahum their Messengers rusuluhum Not in we (are) naḥnu but illā a human basharun like you mith'lukum but walākinna Allah l-laha bestows His Grace yamunnu on ʿalā whom man He wills yashāu of min His slaves ʿibādihi And not wamā is kāna for us lanā that an we bring you natiyakum an authority bisul'ṭānin except illā by the permission of Allah bi-idh'ni by the permission of Allah l-lahi And upon waʿalā Allah l-lahi so let put (their) trust falyatawakkali the believers l-mu'minūna
Their messengers said to them, "We are only men like you, but Allāh confers favor upon whom He wills of His servants. It has never been for us to bring you evidence except by permission of Allāh. And upon Allāh let the believers rely.

And why should we not rely upon Allāh while He has guided us to our [good] ways. And we will surely be patient against whatever harm you should cause us. And upon Allāh let those who would rely [indeed] rely."
