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

(261) Those who were despised say unto those who were proud: Nay but (it was your) scheming night and day, when ye commanded us to disbelieve in Allah and set up rivals unto Him. And they are filled with remorse when they behold the doom; and We place carcans on the necks of those who disbelieved. Are they requited aught save what they used to do?

(262) Those before them denied, and these have not attained a tithe of that which We bestowed on them (of old); yet they denied My messengers. How intense then was My abhorrence (of them)!

(263) And a gulf is set between them and that which they desire, as was done for people of their kind of old. Lo! they were in hopeless doubt.

(264) Then seized I those who disbelieved, and how intense was My abhorrence!

(265) As for that which We inspire in thee of the Scripture, it is the Truth confirming that which was (revealed) before it. Lo! Allah is indeed Observer, Seer of His slaves.

(266) It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my people knew

(267) It was but one Shout, and lo! they were extinct.

(268) But that ye worship Me? That was the right path.

(269) For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

(270) And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
