The word(s) "less" appears 142 time(s) in 140 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(131) When thou lookest at them, their exteriors please thee; and when they speak, thou listenest to their words. They are as (worthless as hollow) pieces of timber propped up, (unable to stand on their own). They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on them! How are they deluded (away from the Truth)!

(132) Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power;-

(133) But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds.

(134) That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.

(135) "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever."

(136) Half of it,- or a little less,

(137) By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);

(138) Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:

(139) But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.

(140) Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
