وَإِذْ
أَخَذَ
اللَّهُ
مِيثَاقَ
النَّبِيِّينَ
لَمَا
آتَيْتُكُم
مِّن
كِتَابٍ
وَحِكْمَةٍ
ثُمَّ
جَاءَكُمْ
رَسُولٌ
مُّصَدِّقٌ
لِّمَا
مَعَكُمْ
لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ
بِهِ
وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُ
قَالَ
أَأَقْرَرْتُمْ
وَأَخَذْتُمْ
عَلَى
ذَلِكُمْ
إِصْرِي
قَالُوا
أَقْرَرْنَا
قَالَ
فَاشْهَدُوا
وَأَنَا
مَعَكُم
مِّنَ
الشَّاهِدِينَ
wa-ʾidh ʾakhadha llāhu mīthāqa n-nabiyyīna la-mā ʾātaytukum min kitābin wa-ḥikmatin thumma jāʾakum rasūlun muṣaddiqun li-mā maʿakum la-tuʾminunna bihī wa-la-tanṣurunnahū qāla ʾa-ʾaqrartum wa-ʾakhadhtum ʿalā dhālikum ʾiṣrī qālū ʾaqrarnā qāla fa-shhadū wa-ʾana maʿakum mina sh-shāhidīna
Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you a messenger, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."
— Abdullah Yusufali
When Allah took a compact concerning the prophets, [He said,] ‘Inasmuch as I have given you [the knowledge] of the Book and wisdom, should an apostle come to you thereafter confirming what is with you, you shall believe in him and help him.’ He said, ‘Do you pledge and accept My covenant on this condition?’ They said, ‘We pledge.’ He said, ‘Then be witnesses, and I, too, am among the witnesses along with you.’
