Ayah: 16

قُل لَّوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا تَلَوۡتُهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَآ أَدۡرَىٰكُم بِهِۦۖ فَقَدۡ لَبِثۡتُ فِيكُمۡ عُمُرٗا مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

Say, “If Allah had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I have spent a lifetime^[20] among you before this. Do you not then understand?”

[20] i.e., forty years before receiving revelation.
