The Holy Quran 2:70 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

قَالُوا۟ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا هِىَ إِنَّ ٱلْبَقَرَ تَشَـٰبَهَ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنَّآ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَمُهْتَدُونَ

Translation

(Rasulullaah has mentioned that the Bani Israa'eel would never have found a suitable bull if they had not used the words "If Allaah wills".)
