Believe then in God, and in His Messenger, the Prophet of the common folk, who believes in God and His words, and follow him; haply so you will be guided.' 158 Yet among the people of Moses there was a nation who preached the truth and acted justly. 159 And We cut them up into twelve tribes, nations.
