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

(301) Naught is said unto thee (Muhammad) save what was said unto the messengers before thee. Lo! thy Lord is owner of forgiveness, and owner (also) of dire punishment.

(302) And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.

(303) And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,

(304) And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again.

(305) We wronged them not, but they it was who did the wrong.

(306) Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;

(307) (We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.

(308) And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.

(309) (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!

(310) And when it was said: Lo! Allah's promise is the truth, and there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour is. We deem it naught but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced.
