The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
وَمَا
كَانَ اللّهُ
لِيُضِلَّ
قَوْمًا بَعْدَ
إِذْ هَدَاهُمْ
حَتَّى يُبَيِّنَ
لَهُم مَّا
يَتَّقُونَ...
9: 115. And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath guided them, in order that He may make clear to them what to fear (and avoid) --
C1367. Allah's clear commands are given, so that Believers may not be misled by their human frailty into unbecoming conduct.
... إِنَّ اللّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿١١٥﴾
for Allah hath knowledge of all things.
إِنَّ اللّهَ
لَهُ مُلْكُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالأَرْضِ
يُحْيِـي
وَيُمِيتُ...
9: 116. Unto Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth.
He giveth life and He taketh it.
... وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلاَ نَصِيرٍ ﴿١١٦﴾
Except for Him ye have no protector nor helper.
Pickthall’s Version:
9: 115
Pickthall It was never Allah's (part) that he should send a folk astray after He had guided them until He had made clear unto them what they should avoid. Lo! Allah is Aware of all things.

9: 116
Pickthall Lo! Allah! Unto Him belongeth the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He quickeneth and He giveth death. And ye have, instead of Allah, no protecting friend nor helper.

5. Surah al-Maida, Medina 112
The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
وَإِذْ
قَالَ اللّهُ
يَا عِيسَى
ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ
...
5: 116. And behold! Allah will say
"O Jesus the son of Mary!
... أَأَنتَ قُلتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَـهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ...
didst thou say unto men, 'worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?"
... قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ...
He will say:
"Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say).
... إِن كُنتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ ...
Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it.
... تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ...
Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine.
... إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ ﴿١١٦﴾
For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
C829. Jesus disclaims here any knowledge of the sort of things that are attributed to him by those who take his name.
The worship of Mary, though repudiated by the Protestants, was widely spread in the earlier churches, both in the East and the West.
5: 116
Asad ……You know all that is within myself, whereas I know not what is in Yourself. Verily, it is You alone who fully know al lthe things that are beyond the reach of a created being’s perception.
Pickthall And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden.

42. Ash-Shura (Consultation)
Mecca Period 53
Asad’s Version:
42:12 His are the keys of the heavens and the earth: He grants abundant sustenance, or gives it in scant measure, unto whomever He wills: for, behold, He has full knowledge of everything."
The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
لَهُ
مَقَالِيدُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضِ
...
42:12. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth:
... يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاء وَيَقْدِرُ...
He enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to whom He will:
C4540. "Sustenance", here as elsewhere, stands for all things that support every phase of life, physical, social, intellectual, or spiritual. Cf. 10:59, n. 1447.
The source of all gifts is Allah; His bounty is inexhaustible, and He gives to all; but He does not give to all in the same measure, because, out of the fullness of His knowledge and wisdom, He can judge best what is best for any of His creatures.
... إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿١٢﴾
for He knows full well all things.
