وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنْ یُكَلِّمَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا وَحْیًا اَوْ مِنْ وَرَٓائِ𐻾 حِجَابٍ اَوْ یُرْسِلَ رَسُولًا فَیُوحِیَ بِاِذْنِهٖ مَا یَشَٓاءُؕ اِنَّهُ عَلِیٌّ حَكٖیمٌ

Wama kana libasharin an yukallimahu Allahu illa wahyan aw min warai hijabin aw yursila rasoolan fayoohiya biithnihi ma yashao innahu AAaliyyun hakeemun
