Surah Ar-Rahman — 55:21

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

Fabi ayyi aalaaa'i Rabbikumaa tukazzibaan

Przeto które z dobrodziejstw waszego Pana uważacie za kłamstwo?

So which of your Lord's blessings will the two of you deny?

Reflection

Tukadhdhiban is takdhib, pronouncing a thing false, which is a heavier charge than disbelief, since it assumes the item has already been set out and looked at. Bi-ayyi then asks which one, singular, pushing the hearer to name a particular favour rather than wave the whole set away. Here the item set out is a boundary keeping two waters from swallowing each other.
