I am not in error. Indeed, I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds, 61 I convey unto you the messages of my Lord and give good counsel unto you, and know from Allah that which ye know not. 62 Does it seem strange to you that a reminder from your Lord should be sent to a man, from among you, to warn you so that you might receive mercy?" 63 In response they denied him, so We rescued him and those with him in the ship, and We drowned those who denied Our signs; indeed they were a blind group. 64
