"You used to take them in mockery, so much so that your hostilities to them caused you to forget My remembrance, and you simply persisted in laughing at them
But you ridiculed them so much, that you even forgot My very existence, and went on laughing at them
Dr. Munir Munshey
But you made them targets of ridicule. You mocked and scoffed at them with such intensity that it even made you forget Me (and My message)
Dr. Kamal Omar
But you took them for a laughing stock (and you continued long sessions of such jest and mockery) until they made you forget My Remembrance while you used to laugh at them
`But you treated them as a laughing-stock and (you continued to laugh at them) until they, (so to say,) made you give up (even) My remembrance while you ever went on laughing at them
But you made fun of them! In fact, this state of yours made you forget my dhikr (remembering my existence within your essence)! You used to laugh at them.”
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
But you took them with ridicule, until they made you forget My remembrance and you were laughing at them
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
You just made them the object of a joke and turned their prayer into ridicule that you forgot all about My message and you laughed them to scorn."
There was a party from among My servants who said: Our Fosterer ! we believe, so protectively forgive us and have mercy on us and you are the Best of those who are merciful.
