Quran 3:61 — Aal-i-Imraan, verse 61
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
If anyone disputes this with you now that you have been given this knowledge, say, ‘Come, let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, and let us pray earnestly and invoke God’s rejection on those of us who are lying.
فَمَنْ حَاجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَنِسَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَنْفُسَنَا وَأَنْفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَلْ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ
faman ḥājjaka fīhi min baʿdi mā jāaka mina l-ʿil'mi faqul taʿālaw nadʿu abnāanā wa-abnāakum wanisāanā wanisāakum wa-anfusanā wa-anfusakum thumma nabtahil fanajʿal laʿnata l-lahi ʿalā l-kādhibīna
