قُل
لَّا
أَمْلِكُ
لِنَفْسِي
نَفْعًا
وَلَا
ضَرًّا

مَا

اللَّهُ
وَلَوْ
كُنتُ
أَعْلَمُ
الْغَيْبَ
لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ
مِنَ
الْخَيْرِ
وَمَا
مَسَّنِيَ
السُّوءُ
إِنْ
أَنَا
إِلَّا
نَذِيرٌ
وَبَشِيرٌ
لِّقَوْمٍ
يُؤْمِنُونَ

Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah willeth. If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith."
— Abdullah Yusufali
Say, ‘I have no control over any benefit for myself, nor [over] any harm except what Allah may wish. Had I known the Unseen, I would have acquired much good, and no ill would have befallen me. I am only a warner and bearer of good news to a people who have faith.’
