فَفَرَرْتُ
مِنكُمْ
لَمَّا
خِفْتُكُمْ
فَوَهَبَ
لِي
رَبِّي
حُكْمًا
وَجَعَلَنِي
مِنَ
الْمُرْسَلِينَ
fa-farartu minkum lammā khiftukum fa-wahaba lī rabbī ḥukman wa-jaʿalanī mina l-mursalīna
"So I fled from you (all) when I feared you; but my Lord has (since) invested me with judgment (and wisdom) and appointed me as one of the messengers.
— Abdullah Yusufali
So I fled from you, as I was afraid of you. Then my Lord gave me sound judgement and made me one of the apostles.
