Muhammad (SAW) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah, and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful.
و محمد صلّى الله عليه وآله نيست جز فرستاده‌اى كه پيش از او هم پيامبران گذشتند. آيا اگر او بميرد يا كشته شود عقبگرد مى‌كنيد؟ و هر كه عقبگرد كند، هرگز به خدا زيانى نمى‌رساند، و خدا سپاسگزاران را پاداش خواهد داد
