ما قلت لهم الا ما امرتني به ان اعبدوا الله ربي وربكم وكنت عليهم شهيدا ما دمت فيهم فلما توفيتني كنت انت الرقيب عليهم وانت على كل شيء شهيد

"Never said I to them Aught except what Thou Didst command me To say, to wit, 'Worship God, my Lord and your Lord'; And I was a witness Over them whilst I dwelt Amongst them; when thou Didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher Over them, and Thou Art a witness to all things.
