Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you a messenger, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

Allah peygamberlerden ahid almıştı: "And olsun ki size Kitap, hikmet verdim; sizde olanı tasdik eden bir peygamber gelecek, ona mutlaka inanacaksınız ve ona mutlaka yardım edeceksiniz, ikrar edip bu ahdi kabul ettiniz mi?" demişti. "İkrar ettik" demişlerdi de: "Şahid olun, Ben de sizinle beraber şahidlerdenim" demişti.
