قالت لهم رسلهم ان نحن الا بشر مثلكم ولكن الله يمن على من يشاء من عباده وما كان لنا ان ناتيكم بسلطان الا باذن الله وعلى الله فليتوكل المؤمنون

Their apostles said to them: "True, we are human Like yourselves, but God Doth grant His grace To such of His servants As He pleases. It is not For us to bring you An authority except as God Permits. And on God Let all men of faith Put their trust.
