وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ
عَنِ
الرُّوحِ
قُلِ
الرُّوحُ

مِّنَ
الْعِلْمِ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلًا
wa-yasʾalūnaka ʾani r-rūḥi quli r-rūḥu min ʾamri rabbī wa-mā ʾūtītum mina l-ʿilmi ʾillā qalīlan
They question you concerning the Spirit. Say, ‘The Spirit is of the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of the knowledge except a few [of you].’
— Ali Quli Qarai
They ask thee concerning the Spirit (of inspiration). Say: "The Spirit (cometh) by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you, (O men!)"
