Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And they say, "Are our deities better or he?" They did not say this to you except to unjustly argue; in fact
they are a quarrelsome people.
Yusuf Ali:
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.
Pickthal:
And say: Are our gods better, or is he? They raise not the objection save for argument. Nay! but they are a contentious folk.
