"Their messengers said, “Can there be doubt about God, Creator of the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you of your sins, and He delays you [i.e., your death] for a specified term.” They said, You are not but men like us who wish to avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us a clear authority [i.e., evidence].”"— Sahih Intl
