Quran 5:99 — Al-Maaida, verse 99
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver the message: God knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
مَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُونَ
mā ʿalā l-rasūli illā l-balāghu wal-lahu yaʿlamu mā tub'dūna wamā taktumūna
