They (also) said: "Allah took our promise not to believe in an messenger unless He showed us a sacrifice consumed by Fire (From heaven)." Say: "There came to you messengers before me, with clear Signs and even with what ye ask for: why then did ye slay them, if ye speak the truth?"

We did send messengers before thee, and appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of a messenger to bring a sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded). For each period is a Book (revealed).

We did aforetime send messengers before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not (possible) for any messenger to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah: but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods.

他们曾说：“真主确已命令我们不可确信任何使者，直到他昭示火所焚化的供物。”你说：“在我之前，有许多使者已昭示你们许多明证，并昭示你们所请求的；如果你们是诚实的，你们为什么要杀害他们呢?”

在你之前，我确已派遣了许多使者，并赏赐他们妻子和儿女。除非奉真主的命令，任何使者不能昭示迹象。每个期限，各有判定。

在你之前，我确已派遣许多使者，他们中有我已告诉你的，有我未告诉你的。任何使者，不应昭示迹象，除非获得真主的许可。当真主的命令来临的时候，众生将依真理而被判决；那时，反对真理的人将遭亏折。
