Are you then so eager that they should believe you seeing there is a party of them that heard God's word and then tampered with it and that after they had comprehended it knowinglyḍ He informed them of [the status] of their belief and related that after hearing the address of God سبحانه they engaged in tampering [with it] and altering [it]: “Why would they believe you when they already heard by means of the messageḍ How can those who do not remain in a state of faith imān after eyewitnessing ʿiyān believe by means of demonstrative proof burhānḍ That which does not hold true for the Real does not hold true for you. How can those who are not ashamed before the Real be ashamed before youḍ”
