Qur'anic Verse
Al-An'am 6:114
"...sent down to you the Book explained in detail" (kitaban mufassalan). Read by the majority of classical exegetes as a claim about the clarity of the Qur'an's creed and guidance content, not a claim of procedural or legal exhaustiveness; the broader reading takes it to include procedural/legal detail.
Revert Way rendering, in the style of early public-domain English translations (cf. Pickthall 1930)
