These (are) the Messengers
they (would have) not fought each other,
they (would have) not fought each other.
[the] (other) Messengers,
surely, He (would have) sent down
are gathered to their appointed time.
Those messengers We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth His plan.
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.
Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!
(Respite will be granted) until, when the messengers give up hope (of their people) and (come to) think that they were treated as liars, there reaches them Our help, and those whom We will are delivered into safety. But never will be warded off our punishment from those who are in sin.
O ye messengers! enjoy (all) things good and pure, and work righteousness: for I am well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
Behold, the messengers came to them, from before them and behind them, (preaching): "Serve none but Allah." They said, "If our Lord had so pleased, He would certainly have sent down angels (to preach). Now we reject your mission (altogether)."
And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
这些使者,我使他们的品格互相超越;他们中有真主曾和他们说话的,有真主提升他若干等级的。我曾以许多明证赏赐麦尔彦之子尔撤,并且以玄灵扶助他。假若真主意欲,他们的信徒在明证降临之後,必不互相残杀,但他们意见分歧,他们中有信道的,有不信道的。假若真主意欲,他们必不互相攻击,但真主是为所欲为的。
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。
麦尔彦之子麦西哈,只是一个使者,在他之前,有许多使者确已逝去了。他母亲是一个诚实的人。他们俩也是吃饭的。你看我怎样为他们阐明一切迹象,然后,你看他们是如何悖谬的。
直到众使者绝望,而且猜想自己被欺骗的时候,我的援助才来临他们,而我拯救了我所意欲的人。我所加于犯罪的人们的惩罚是不可抗拒的。
众使者啊!你们可以吃佳美的食物,应当力行善功, 我对于你们的行为确是全知的。
当时,众使者从他们的前后来临他们,说:“除真主外,你们不要崇拜任何物。”他们说:“假若我们的主意欲,他必降下许多天神,我们必定不信你们所奉的使命。”
当众使者被定期召集的时候,
