Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: 'From God shall protect me not anyone, and I shall find, apart from Him, no refuge, 22 (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.” 23 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day. 25 He is the Knower of the unseen, and He discloseth not His unseen unto anyone. 26 Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
