Sura al-Zukhruf 43:5

أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ

a-fa-naḍribu ʿankumu l-dhikrā ṣafḥan an kuntum qawman musrifīna

Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you), for that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds?

Sura al-Zukhruf 43:17

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ

wa-idhā bushshira aḥaduhum bi-mā ḍaraba lil-raḥmāni mathalan ẓalla wajhuhu muswaddan wa-huwa kaẓīmun

When news is brought to one of them of (the birth of) what he sets up as a likeness to (Allah) Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief!

Sura al-Zukhruf 43:57

وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ

wa-lammā ḍuriba ibnu maryama mathalan idhā qawmuka minhu yaṣiddūna

When (Jesus) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!

Sura al-Zukhruf 43:58

وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًۢا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ

wa-qālū a-ālihatunā khayrun am huwa mā ḍarabūhu la-ka illā jadalan bal hum qawmun khaṣimūna

And they say, "Are our gods best, or he?" This they set forth to thee, only by way of disputation: yea, they are a contentious people.
