The word(s) "but" appears 1022 time(s) in 947 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(701) Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the night, prostrate and standing, bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (to be accounted equal with a disbeliever)? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? but only men of understanding will pay heed.

(702) but those who keep their duty to their Lord, for them are lofty halls with lofty halls above them, built (for them), beneath which rivers flow. (It is) a promise of Allah. Allah faileth not His promise.

(703) Thus Allah made them taste humiliation in the life of the world, and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be greater if they did but know.

(704) Allah coineth a similitude: A man in relation to whom are several part-owners, quarrelling, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal in similitude? Praise be to Allah! but most of them know not.

(705) Now when hurt toucheth a man he crieth unto Us, and afterward when We have granted him a boon from Us, he saith: Only by force of knowledge I obtained it. Nay, but it is a test. but most of them know not.

(706) but the evils that they earned smote them; and such of these as do wrong, the evils that they earn will smite them; they cannot escape.

(707) Or should say: If Allah had but guided me I should have been among the dutiful!

(708) Or should say, when it seeth the doom: Oh, that I had but a second chance that I might be among the righteous!

(709) (but now the answer will be): Nay, for My revelations came unto thee, but thou didst deny them and wast scornful and wast among the disbelievers.

(710) Nay, but Allah must thou serve, and be among the thankful!
