The word(s) "but" appears 932 time(s) in 837 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(541) And He it is Who originates the creation, then reproduces it, and it is easy to Him; and His are the most exalted attributes in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

(542) Then set your face upright for religion in the right state-- the nature made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion, but most people do not know--

(543) So as to be ungrateful for what We have given them; but enjoy yourselves (for a while), for you shall soon come to know.

(544) Nor can you lead away the blind out of their error. You cannot make to hear any but those who believe in Our communications so they shall submit.

(545) And at the time when the hour shall come, the guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour; thus are they ever turned away.

(546) And those who are given knowledge and faith will say: Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah till the day of resurrection, so this is the day of resurrection, but you did not know.

(547) but on that day their excuse shall not profit those who were unjust, nor shall they be regarded with goodwill.

(548) And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran; and if you should bring them a communication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: You are naught but false claimants.

(549) This is Allah's creation, but show Me what those besides Him have created. Nay, the unjust are in manifest error

(550) Neither your creation nor your raising is anything but as a single soul; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing.
