Ayat No. 144

وَ مَا مُحَمَّدٌ اِلَّا رَسُوْلٌۚ-قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُؕ-اَفَاۡىٕنْ مَّاتَ اَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلٰۤى اَعْقَابِكُمْؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّنْقَلِبْ عَلٰى عَقِبَیْهِ فَلَنْ یَّضُرَّ اللّٰهَ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-وَ سَیَجْزِی اللّٰهُ الشّٰكِرِیْن(۱۴۴)

Translation

Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the grateful.

And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined. And whoever desires the reward of this world - We will give him thereof; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter - We will give him thereof. And we will reward the grateful.

Ayat No. 146

وَ كَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ نَّبِیٍّ قٰتَلَۙ-مَعَهٗ رِبِّیُّوْنَ كَثِیْرٌۚ-فَمَا وَ هَنُوْا لِمَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ مَا ضَعُفُوْا وَ مَا اسْتَكَانُوْاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ(۱۴۶)
