their messengers told them indeed we are only human beings like yourselves but allah bestows his favour on those of his servants whom he wills. it does not lie in our power to produce any authority except by the leave of allah. it is in allah that the believers should put their trust.
قالت لهم رسلهم إن نحن إلا بشر مثلكم ولكن الله يمن على من يشاء من عباده وما كان لنا أن نأتيكم بسلطان إلا بإذن الله وعلى الله فليتوكل المؤمنون
