وما كان لبشر ان يكلمه الله الا وحيا او من وراء حجاب او يرسل رسولا فيوحي باذنه ما يشاء انه علي حكيم

It is not fitting For a man that God Should speak to him Except by inspiration, Or from behind a veil, Or by the sending Of a Messenger To reveal, with God's permission, What God wills: for He Is Most High, Most Wise.
