Like (those) We had sent to those schismatics who slandered their Books

(Of a punishment) Like the one We sent down upon the dividers.

So We sent it down to the partitioners,

[For, thou art the bearer of a divine writ] such as We have bestowed from on high upon those who [afterwards] broke it up into parts,

Even as We sent down on the dividers -

As We have sent down on the dividers, (Quraish pagans or Jews and Christians).

Just as We sent down to the separatists.

Just as We sent down to the separatists.

Just as We sent down to the separatists.

Just as We sent down to the separatists.

˹a warning˺ similar to what We sent to those who divided ˹the Scriptures˺,

even as We had sent warning to those who had divided their religion into fragments;

As We have sent down on the Muqtasimin (conspiring confederates),

Such as We send down for those who make division,

like that We sent down upon those who split into bands,

So We sent it down to the partitioners,

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators

(We have given you the Quran) as We had given (the Bible) to those who divided themselves into groups

Like as We sent down on the dividers

Kama anzalna AAala almuqtasimeena

kamā anzalnā ʿalā l-muq'tasimīna

such as We send down for those who are divisive,

(Of just such wrath) as We sent down on those who divided (Scripture into arbitrary parts),-
