قُل
لَّا
أَمْلِكُ
لِنَفْسِي
نَفْعًا
وَلَا
ضَرًّا
إِلَّا
مَا
شَاءَ
اللَّهُ
وَلَوْ
كُنتُ
أَعْلَمُ
الْغَيْبَ
لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ
مِنَ
الْخَيْرِ
وَمَا
مَسَّنِيَ
السُّوءُ
إِنْ
أَنَا
إِلَّا
نَذِيرٌ
وَبَشِيرٌ
لِّقَوْمٍ
يُؤْمِنُونَ

(Muhammad), say, "I have no control over my benefits or sufferings, without the will of God. Had I known about the unseen, I would have gained much good and would have faced no suffering. I am only a warner and I preach the glad news to the believing people."
