(They say: Yea, verily, a warner) a warning messenger (came unto us; but we denied) the messengers (and said: Allah hath naught revealed) Allah has not revealed any Scripture nor has He sent any messenger to us; (ye are in naught) and we said to the messengers: you are in nothing (but a great error) ascribing partners to Allah; it is also said that the wardens of Gehenna will say to the disbelievers: when you were in the life of the world: you were in nothing but great error, i.e. idolatry.
