Surah 6. Al-An'am, Ayah 148
سَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشْرَكْنَا وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُوا۟ بَأْسَنَا ۗ قُلْ هَلْ عِندَكُم مِّنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْرِجُوهُ لَنَآ ۖ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَخْرُصُونَ

Even so did those who lived before them give the lie to the truth141 - until they came to taste Our punishment! Say: "Have you any [certain] knowledge which you could proffer to us?142 You follow but [other people's] conjectures, and you yourselves do nothing but guess."
- Mohammad Asad
In response to this the mushrikin will promptly say: "If Allah wanted, neither we nor our forefathers would have been mushrikin, or we could have made anything unlawful." That is how their ancestors rejected the truth in the past until they tasted of Our punishment. If they say so, then ask them: "Do you have any evidence that you can put before us? The fact of the matter is, you believe in nothing but conjecture and follow nothing but falsehood."
- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
The polytheists will argue, 'Had it been Allah's Will, neither we nor our forefathers would have associated others with Him 'in worship' or made anything unlawful.' Likewise, those before them rejected the truth until they tasted Our punishment. Ask 'them, O Prophet', 'Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? Surely you follow nothing but 'false' assumptions and you do nothing but lie.'
- Mustafa Khattab
They who are idolaters will say: Had Allah willed, we had not ascribed (unto Him) partners neither had our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught. Thus did those who were before them give the lie (to Allah's messengers) till they tasted of the fear of Us. Say: Have ye any knowledge that ye can adduce for us? Lo! ye follow naught but an opinion. Lo! ye do but guess.
- Marmaduke Pickthall
Those who give partners to Allah will say "If Allah had wished we should not have given partners to Him nor would our father; nor should we have had any taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely until they tasted of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any (certain) Knowledge? If so produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture: Ye do nothing but lie." 972
