quran:27:68 –

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples."

Already we and our fathers have been promised this before. ˹But˺ these are just the ˹legendary˺ fables of the ancients’ (asātīr is the plural of ustūra, meaning ‘what has been written down ˹mā sutira˺ of lies’).

القرآن:٢٧:٦٨ –

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَٰذَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

{لقد وعدنا هذا نحن وآباؤنا من قبل إن} ما {هذا إلا أساطير الأولين} جمع أسطورة بالضم أي ما سطر من الكذب.

quran:23:83 –

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

Already We and our fathers have been promised this, resurrection after death, before: these are nothing but the fables, the lies, of the ancients’, ˹mere˺ jokes and strange tales (asātīr, the plural of ustūra).

القرآن:٢٣:٨٣ –

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

{لقد وعدنا نحن وآباؤنا هذا} أي البعث بعد الموت {من قبل إن} ما {هذا إلا أساطير} أكاذيب {الأولين} كالأضاحيك والأعاجيب جمع أسطورة بالضم.
