(13) Aforetime they sought to cause sedition and raised difficulties for thee till the Truth came and the decree of Allah was made manifest, though they were loth.

(14) The similitude of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in similitude? Will ye not then be admonished?

(15) Thankful for His bounties; He chose him and He guided him unto a straight path.

(16) And afterward We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties would best calculate the time that they had tarried.

(17) And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army?

(18) They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners
