When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you.
و [ياد كن‌] آنگاه كه خدا از پيامبران [و امتهاى ايشان‌] پيمان گرفت كه چون شما را كتاب و حكمت دادم سپس پيامبرى نزد شما آمد كه آنچه را با شماست باور داشت و راست انگاشت بايد به او بگرويد و يارى‌اش كنيد. [آنگاه‌] گفت: آيا اقرار داريد و بر اين [كار] پيمان مرا پذيرفتيد؟ گفتند: اقرار داريم. فرمود: پس گواه باشيد و من هم با شما از گواهانم.
