P: They say: Came not your messengers unto you with clear proofs? They say: Yea, verily. They say: Then do ye pray, although the prayer of disbelievers is in vain.

040.056 Y: Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their b.r.e.a.s.t.s but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: It is He Who hears and sees (all things).
