وما محمد الا رسول قد خلت من قبله الرسل افان مات او قتل انقلبتم على اعقابكم ومن ينقلب على عقبيه فلن يضر الله شيئا وسيجزي الله الشاكرين

Muhammad is no more Than an Apostle: many Were the Apostles 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 God; But God (on the other hand) Will swiftly reward those Who (serve him) with gratitude.
