وَمَا
مُحَمَّدٌ
إِلَّا
رَسُولٌ
قَدْ
خَلَتْ
مِن
قَبْلِهِ
الرُّسُلُ
أَفَإِن
مَّاتَ
أَوْ
قُتِلَ
انقَلَبْتُمْ
عَلَى
أَعْقَابِكُمْ
وَمَن
يَنقَلِبْ
عَلَى
عَقِبَيْهِ
فَلَن
يَضُرَّ
اللَّهَ
شَيْئًا
وَسَيَجْزِي
اللَّهُ
الشَّاكِرِينَ

Muhammad is no more than a messenger: many Were the messenger 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 Allah; but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Muhammad is but an apostle; [other] apostles have passed before him. If he dies or is slain, will you turn back on your heels? Anyone who turns back on his heels, will not harm Allah in the least, and soon Allah will reward the grateful.
