Neither can a people anticipate its term, nor delay it.
15:6
وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ ٦
They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!
15:7
لَوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ٧
"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"
15:8
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوا إِذًا مُنْظَرِينَ ٨
We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!
15:9
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ٩
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
