The word(s) "but" appears 1742 time(s) in 1483 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(1311) And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;

(1312) These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!

(1313) but it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.

(1314) but they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.

(1315) Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.

(1316) That man can have nothing but what he strives for;

(1317) No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare.

(1318) but fall ye down in prostration to Allah, and adore (Him)!

(1319) but if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."

(1320) They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
