(2:95) But they will never wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers. (2:96) And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allah. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allah is Seeing of what they do. (2:97) Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur`an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers." (2:98) Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers and Gabriel and Michael - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers. (2:99) And We have certainly revealed to you verses [which are] clear proofs, and no one would deny them except the defiantly disobedient. (2:100) Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe. (2:101) And when a messenger from Allah came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know [what it contained].
