tell them i have no power to harm or benefit even myself except what allah may will. there is an appointed term for every people and when the end of their term comes neither can they put it off for an hour nor can they bring it an hour before.
قل لا أملك لنفسي ضرا ولا نفعا إلا ما شاء الله لكل أمة أجل إذا جاء أجلهم فلا يستأخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون
