Bili su ljudi zajednica jedna, pa je slao Allah vjerovjesnike, donosioce radosnih vijesti i opominjače, i objavljivao uz njih Knjigu s Istinom, da sudi ljudima o onome u čemu su se razilazili. A nisu se razilazili o njoj, izuzev oni kojima je ona data, nakon što su im došli jasni dokazi, zavišću međusobnom.
Men belonged to a single community, and God sent them messengers to give them happy tidings and warnings, and sent the Book with them containing the truth to judge between them in matters of dispute; but only those who received it differed after receiving clear proofs, on account of waywardness (and jealousies) among them.
