The word(s) "pretend" appears 3 time(s) in 3 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(1) Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, So they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the signs, not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee, they (but) dispute with thee; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients."
