قَالَ لَا يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِۦٓ إِلَّا نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِى رَبِّىٓ ۚ إِنِّى تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ

Qala la ya’teekuma taAAamun turzaqanihi illa nabba’tukuma bita’weelihi qabla an ya’tiyakuma thalikuma mimma AAallamani rabbee innee taraktu millata qawmin la yuminoona biAllahi wahum bialakhirati hum kafiroona
