The word(s) "was" appears 409 time(s) in 356 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(201) (But it was said unto them): Flee not, but return to that (existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings, that ye may be questioned.

(202) And We brought him in unto Our mercy. Lo! he was of the righteous.

(203) And she who was chaste, therefor We breathed into her (something) of Our Spirit and made her and her son a token for (all) peoples.

(204) (And) the dwellers in Midian. And Moses was denied; but I indulged the disbelievers a long while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My abhorrence!

(205) How many a township have We destroyed while it was sinful, so that it lieth (to this day) in ruins, and (how many) a deserted well and lofty tower!

(206) And how many a township did I suffer long though it was sinful! Then I grasped it. Unto Me is the return.

(207) That (is so). And whoso hath retaliated with the like of that which he was made to suffer and then hath (again) been wronged, Allah will succour him. Lo! Allah verily is Mild, Forgiving.

(208) Lo! there was a party of My slaves who said: Our Lord! We believe, therefor forgive us and have mercy on us for Thou art Best of all who show mercy;

(209) And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they worship instead of Allah and will say: was it ye who misled these my slaves or did they (themselves) wander from the way?

(210) They will say: Be Thou Glorified! it was not for us to choose any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk.
