Ayah 188
Surah Al-A'raaf
Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."﴿188﴾
Translation
Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."
Simplified Tafsir
قل -أيها الرسول-: لا أقدرُ على جَلْبِ خير لنفسي ولا دفع شر يحل بها إلا ما شاء الله، ولو كنت أعلم الغيب لفعلت الأسباب التي أعلم أنها تكثِّر لي المصالح والمنافع، ولاتَّقيتُ ما يكون من الشر قبل أن يقع، ما أنا إلا رسول الله أرسلني إليكم، أخوِّف من عقابه، وأبشر بثوابه قومًا يصدقون بأني رسول الله، ويعملون بشرعه.
