وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فٖیهِؕ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْؕ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَفٖی شَكٍّ مِنْهُ مُرٖیبٍ

Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba faikhtulifa feehi walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum wainnahum lafee shakkin minhu mureebin

Translations

And We had already given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in disquieting doubt

Saheeh International

And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, but there hath been dispute concerning it; and but for a Word that had already gone forth from thy Lord, it would ere now have been judged between them; but lo! they are in hopeless doubt concerning it
