The word(s) "they" appears 2882 time(s) in 1966 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(971) Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many a generation We destroyed before them, amid whose dwellings they walk? Lo! therein verily are signs for men of thought.

(972) Therefor (O Muhammad), bear with what they say, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord ere the rising of the sun and ere the going down thereof. And glorify Him some hours of the night and at the two ends of the day, that thou mayst find acceptance.

(973) And they say: If only he would bring us a miracle from his Lord! Hath there not come unto them the proof of what is in the former scriptures?

(974) And if we had destroyed them with some punishment before it, they would assuredly have said: Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent unto us a messenger, so that we might have followed Thy revelations before we were (thus) humbled and disgraced!

(975) Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness.

(976) Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they play,

(977) With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong-doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it)?

(978) Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were Allah's messengers) were sent (with portents).

(979) Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe?

(980) We gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortals.
