Quran 36:19 — Yaseen, verse 19
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
The messengers said, ‘The evil omen is within yourselves. Why do you take it as an evil omen when you are reminded of the Truth? You are going too far!’
قَالُوا طَائِرُكُمْ مَعَكُمْ ۚ أَئِنْ ذُكِّرْتُمْ ۚ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُسْرِفُونَ
qālū ṭāirukum maʿakum a-in dhukkir'tum bal antum qawmun mus'rifūna
