﴿ إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴾

“that, whenever Our messages are conveyed to him, such a one says, "Fables of ancient times"?”

(That, when Our revelations) the Qur'an, detailing the commands and prohibitions (are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old) this is just the talk and lies of the men of old.
