Kasem olsun ki biz senden evvel de Resuller gönderdik, onlara da hem zevceleri verdik hem zürriyyet, hiç bir Resulün ise Allahın iznine iktiran etmedikçe bir âyet getirmek haddi değildir, her ecel için bir yazı vardır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Avant toi, nous avons envoyé d’autres prophètes, à qui nous avons donné des épouses et une lignée. Aucun d’eux n’a fait de miracles, si ce n’est par la permission de Dieu. A chaque époque son livre sacré.
