O you who believe, do not violate the symbols of God, nor the restricted month, nor the donations, nor what is regulated, nor the safety made by the Restricted Sanctuary; for they are seeking a bounty from their Lord and a blessing. And when it is permitted for you, then you may hunt. And let not the hatred of another people; because they had barred you from the Restricted Temple; make you aggress. And help each other in piety and righteousness, and do not help each other in sin and aggression. And be aware of God, for the retribution of God is severe.

21:5
بَلْ قَالُوا أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلاَم ٍ بَلْ افْتَرَاه ُُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِر ٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِآيَة ٍ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ الأَوَّلُونَ
Bal Qālū 'AĐghāthu 'Aĥlāmin Bal Aftarāhu Bal Huwa Shā`irun Falya'tinā Bi'āyatin Kamā 'Ursila Al-'Awwalūna
They said: "No, these are just bad dreams; no, he made it up; no, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign like those who were sent before."
26:224
وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ
Wa Ash-Shu`arā'u Yattabi`uhumu Al-Ghāwūna
And the poets, are followed by the strayers.
37:36
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوا آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِر ٍ مَجْنُون ٍ
Wa Yaqūlūna 'A'innā Latārikū 'Ālihatinā Lishā`irin Majnūnin
And they would say:Shall we leave our gods because of a crazy poet?
52:30
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِر ٌ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِه ِِ رَيْبَ الْمَنُونِ
'Am Yaqūlūna Shā`irun Natarabbaşu Bihi Rayba Al-Manūni
Or do they say: He is a poet; so let us just wait until a disaster befalls him.
69:41
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِر ٍ قَلِيلا ً مَا تُؤْمِنُونَ
Wa Mā Huwa Biqawli Shā`irin Qalīlāan Mā Tu'uminūna
It is not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe.

6:109
وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَة ٌ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا الآيَاتُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْ أَنَّهَا إِذَا جَاءَتْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Wa 'Aqsamū Billāhi Jahda 'Aymānihim La'in Jā'at/hum 'Āyatun Layu'uminunna Bihā Qul 'Innamā Al-'Āyātu `Inda Allāhi Wa Mā Yush`irukum 'Annahā 'Idhā Jā'at Lā Yu'uminūna
And they swore by God using their strongest oaths; that if a sign came to them they would believe in it. Say: "The signs are from God; and how do you know that once it comes, that they will not disbelieve?"
18:19
وَكَذَلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْ قَالَ قَائِل ٌ مِنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْماً أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْم ٍ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُوا أَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَذِهِ~ِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنظُرْ أَيُّهَا أَزْكَى طَعَاما ً فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْق ٍ مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلاَ يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدا ً

And it was thus that We delivered them so they would ask themselves. A speaker from among them said: "How long have you stayed?" They said: "We stayed a day or part of a day." He said: "Your Lord is surely aware how long you stayed, so send one of you with these stamped coins of yours to the city, and let him see which is the tastiest food, and let him come with a provision of it. And let him be careful and let no one notice you."
