5:117

مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ اِلَّا مَٓا اَمَرْتَنٖی بِهٖٓ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبّٖی وَرَبَّكُمْۚ وَكُنْتُ عَلَیْهِمْ شَهٖیدًا مَا دُمْتُ فٖیهِمْۚ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّیْتَنٖی كُنْتَ اَنْتَ الرَّقٖیبَ عَلَیْهِمْؕ وَاَنْتَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهٖیدٌ

Ma qultu lahum illa ma amartanee bihi ani oAAbudoo Allaha rabbee warabbakum wakuntu AAalayhim shaheedan ma dumtu feehim falamma tawaffaytanee kunta anta alrraqeeba AAalayhim waanta AAala kulli shayin shaheedun

Translations

I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness

Saheeh International

I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things
