ثُمَّ قَفَّیْنَا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّیْنَا بِعٖیسَى ابْنِ مَرْیَمَ وَاٰتَیْنَاهُ الْاِنْجٖیلَ وَجَعَلْنَا فٖی قُلُوبِ الَّذٖینَ اتَّبَعُوهُ رَاْفَةً وَرَحْمَةًؕ وَرَهْبَانِیَّةًࣙ ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَیْهِمْ اِلَّا ابْتِغَٓاءَ رِضْوَانِ اللّٰهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَایَتِهَاۚ فَاٰتَیْنَا الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُوا مِنْهُمْ اَجْرَهُمْۚ وَكَثٖیرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Translations
Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allah. But they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many of them are defiantly disobedient
Saheeh International
Then We caused Our messengers to follow in their footsteps; and We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow, and gave him the Gospel, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But monasticism they invented - We ordained it not for them - only seeking Allah's pleasure, and they observed it not with right observance. So We give those of them who believe their reward, but many of them are evil-livers
