If I said it, then I knew it 00:08:25.339 --> 00:08:40.039 You know what is in my soul, but I do not know what is in your soul. Indeed, you are the Knower of the unseen 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:50.039 He said that to Jesus when he brought him up to him. Did you say to the people, “Take me and my mother as deities that you worship instead of God?” 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:58.039 Jesus said, “It is an honor for you, O my Lord, and a great honor for me to do that or speak it.” 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:04.039 It is not for me to say that because I am a created slave and my mother is your slave 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:09.139 How can the servant and the female slave have lordship in supplication? 00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:20.139 If you said it, then you taught him that nothing is hidden from you, and you know that I did not say that nor command them to do so 00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:28.139 O my Lord, you are not hidden from what I have concealed in my soul, which I have not spoken or revealed with my inner being 00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:38.139 So what about what you have spoken and revealed to me, while I do not know what you have hidden from me and have not revealed to me? 00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:46.139 You are the One who knows the secrets of matters that only you know and that no one else knows 00:09:46.139 --> 00:10:01.779 I did not say to them except what you commanded me to do: to worship God, my Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them 00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:16.779 When you took me to death, you were the watcher over them and you are a witness over everything 00:10:16.779 --> 00:10:25.350 I only said to them what you commanded me to say, which is to worship God, my Lord and your Lord 00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:33.350 I was watching what they were doing while I was among them, witnessing them and their actions and words 00:10:33.350 --> 00:10:45.350 When you took me to you, you were their guardian instead of me, and you bear witness to everything, because nothing is hidden from you 00:10:45.350 --> 00:11:03.950 If you torture them, they are your servants, and if you forgive them, then you are the Mighty, the Wise 00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:13.950 If those who said this article are tormented, then they are submitting to you and not abstaining from what you wanted for them 00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:22.950 They will not protect themselves from harm, and if you forgive them by guiding them to repentance, then you will protect them 00:11:22.950 --> 00:11:36.950 For you are the Mighty in taking revenge on those who want to take revenge on him, the Wise in guiding those of his creation to repentance and granting success to those of them who are successful on the path to salvation. 00:11:36.950 --> 00:12:00.429 God said, “This is a day on which the truthful will benefit the truthful. They will have Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever.” 00:12:00.429 --> 00:12:08.429 May God be pleased with them and they be pleased with him, that great victory 00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:25.139 God said to Isa this useful saying on a day that will benefit the truthful. Their honesty will have gardens beneath which rivers flow in the Hereafter, as a reward for them from God for their honesty. 00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:28.139 We will always remain in Paradise 00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:31.139 May God be pleased with these honest people 00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:43.139 And they were satisfied with God in His fulfillment of what He promised them for their obedience of His great reward. This which He gave them is the great reward. 00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:57.649 To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, and He has power over all things 00:12:57.649 --> 00:13:13.639 To God, O supporters, belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in it, without Jesus, without his mother, and without all who are in the heavens and who are on the earth, and He has power over all things. 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:20.639 He is not unable to do anything he wanted because his ability is not similar to his ability 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.049 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
