English Sahih:
Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us – if [indeed] We were to do so. (Al-Anbya [21] : 17)
Muhammad Hamidullah:
Si Nous avions voulu prendre une distraction, Nous l'aurions prise de Nous-mêmes, si vraiment Nous avions voulu le faire. (Al-Anbiya' [21] : 17)
