It does not befit a man that Allah should grant him His Book and sound judgement and prophet-hood, and thereafter he should say to men: 'Become servants to me apart from Allah.' He would rather say: 'Become dedicated men of Allah, in accord with the dictates of the Book you have been teaching and studying.'
نسزد هيچ بشرى را كه خدا به او كتاب و حكمت و نبوت داده باشد، آنگاه به مردم بگويد كه بندگان من باشيد نه بندگان خدا. و حال آنكه پيامبران مى‌گويند: همچنان كه از كتاب خدا مى‌آموزيد و در آن مى خوانيد، پرستندگان خدا باشيد.
