THUS DO WE relate unto thee some of the stories of what happened in the past; and [thus] have We vouchsafed unto thee, out of Our grace, a reminder.

Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence.

Thus relate We unto thee (Muhammad) some tidings of that which happened of old, and We have given thee from Our presence a reminder.

Thus relate We to thee of the news of what has gone before. And indeed We have given thee a Reminder from Ourselves.

Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an.
