مَّايَوَدُّٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟مِنْأَهْلِٱلْكِتَٰبِوَلَاٱلْمُشْرِكِينَأَنيُنَزَّلَعَلَيْكُممِّنْخَيْرٍمِّنرَّبِّكُمْ ۗوَٱللَّهُيَخْتَصُّبِرَحْمَتِهِۦمَنيَشَآءُ ۚوَٱللَّهُذُوٱلْفَضْلِٱلْعَظِيمِ١٠٥

Neither those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture [i.e., the Jews and Christians] nor the polytheists wish that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allāh selects for His mercy whom He wills, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.(105)
