| Pickthall | But whoso seeketh more than that, those are they who are transgressors; |

| translator's name | verse |
| Arberry | What ails the unbelievers, running with outstretched necks |
| Maududi | But what is the matter with the unbelievers who are hurrying towards you |
| Pickthall | What aileth those who disbelieve, that they keep staring toward thee (O Muhammad), open-eyed, |

| Arberry | Not so; for We have created them of what they know. |
