اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

یہی وہ لوگ ہیں جن پر اللہ نے انعام کیا جو آدم کی ذرّیّت میں سے نبی تھے اور اُن میں سے تھے جنہیں ہم نے نوح کے ساتھ سوار کیا اور ابراہیم اور اسرائیل کی ذرّیّت میں سے تھے اور اُن میں سے تھے جنہیں ہم نے ہدایت دی اور چُن لیا۔ جب ان پر رحمان کی آیات تلاوت کی جاتی تھیں وہ سجدہ کرتے ہوئے اور روتے ہوئے گر جاتے تھے۔

Lorsque les Signes du Dieu Gracieux leur étaient récités, ils tombaient à genoux, se prosternant devant Allāh en pleurant.

Sie waren jene unter den Propheten, denen Allah Gnade erwiesen hatte aus der Nachkommenschaft Adams und derer, die Wir mit Noah (über Wasser) trugen, und aus der Nachkommenschaft Abrahams und Jakobs, und derer, die Wir richtig geführt und erwählt hatten.

Quando si recitavano loro i segni del Dio Misericordioso, cadevano a terra prostrandosi davanti a Dio e piangendo.

Commentary:

This verse explains two things:(1) The Prophets whose names have been mentioned in it were righteous and holy men. But in spite of the very exalted position they held they were ordinary mortals. Jesus, like them, too, was a Prophet of God and like them a mere mortal. There was nothing in him that could entitle him to some special position. (2) These righteous and holy men were Divine Prophets and as such sinless. The Jews in the Old Testament (Gen. 9:21-23; 19:31-38; 20:2; Exod. 32:1-4); and Christians in the New Testament (John 10:8) hurled at these paragons of piety and righteousness very filthy charges, the former in order to screen their own crimes and the latter in order to establish the exclusive sinlessness of Jesus. Special stress has been laid on their holiness in the verse under comment and it is in order to clear them completely of the charges attributed to them and also to demolish the wrong notion of the exclusive sinlessness of Jesus that the words "whom We guided and chose" have been used about them.

Some commentators of the Quran think that the words 'of the posterity of Adam' refer to Idris, and whom we carried in the Ark with Noah to Abraham, and the words, of the posterity of Abraham, refer to Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and the words, of the posterity of, understood before the word Israel, to Moses, Aaron, Zachariah, Yahya and Jesus, all of whom have been mentioned in the preceding verses of the present Surah.
