Muhammad is no more than a messenger: many Were the messenger that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah; but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.

Nor can a soul die except by Allah's leave, the term being fixed as by writing. If any do desire a reward in this life, We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that (serve us with) gratitude.

Say: "Who is it that delivereth you from the dark recesses of land and sea, when ye call upon Him in humility and silent terror: 'If He only delivers us from these (dangers), (we vow) we shall truly show our gratitude'?"

(Allah) said: "O Moses! I have chosen thee above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee): take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give thanks."

It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."

He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"

Nay, but worship Allah, and be of those who give thanks.

穆罕默德只是一个使者，在他之前，有许多使者，确已逝去了；如果他病故或阵亡，难道你们就要叛道吗？叛道的人，绝不能伤损真主一丝毫。真主将报酬感谢的人。

不得真主的许可，任何人都不会死亡；真主已注定各人的寿限了。谁想获得今世的报酬，我给谁今世的报酬；谁想获得后世的报酬，我给谁后世的报酬。我将报酬感谢的人。

你说：“你们谦逊地和秘密地祈祷说：'如果他拯救我们脱离这些苦难，我们必定感谢他。'谁能拯救你们脱离陆地和海洋的各种苦难呢？”

主说：“穆萨啊！我确已借我的使命和面谕而将你选拔在众人之上了，你要接受我所赐你的恩惠，并当感谢我。”

他从一个人创造你们，他使那个人的配偶与他同类，以便他依恋她。他和她交接后，她怀了一个轻飘飘的孕，她能照常度日，当她感觉身子重的时候，他俩祈祷真主--他俩的主--说：“如果你赏赐我们一个健全的儿子，我们一定感谢你。”

真主使你们在陆上和海上旅行。当你们坐在船中，乘顺风而航行，并因风而欣喜的时候，暴风向船袭来，波涛从各处滚来，船里的人猜想自己已被包围，他们虔诚地祈祷真主，”如果你使我们脱离这次灾难，我们必定感谢你。”

不然！你应当只崇拜真主，你应当做感谢者。”
