72:28

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَسْلُكُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ رَصَدًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Except to him whom He chooses, namely a Messenger of His. And then He causes an escort of guarding angels to go before him and behind him,

English - Five Volume Translation

Except to him whom He chooses, namely a Messenger of His. And then He causes an escort of guarding angels to go before him and behind him,[4412]

Commentary:

The verse embodies an incontestable criterion to distinguish between the nature and scope of the secrets of the unknown that are revealed to a Divine Messenger and those that are disclosed to other righteous believers. The distinction lies in the fact that whereas God’s Messengers are granted إظھار علی الغیب i.e. predominance over the unseen; secrets revealed to other righteous and holy men of God do not enjoy this distinction. Moreover, revelation granted to God’s Messengers, being under special Divine protection, is completely secure against being distorted or tampered with by the evil one, while secrets revealed to ordinary righteous men are not so safe.

English - Short Commentary Translation

Except to a Messenger of His whom He chooses. And then He causes an escort of guarding angels to go before him and behind him,[3148]

The verse embodies an incontestable criterion to distinguish between the nature and scope of the secrets of the unknown that are revealed to a Divine Messenger and those that are disclosed to other righteous believers. The distinction lies in the fact that whereas God’s Messengers are granted Izhar ‘alal-Ghaib, i.e. predominance over the unseen, secrets revealed to other righteous and holy men of God do not enjoy this distinction. Moreover, revelation granted to God’s Messengers, being under special Divine protection, is secure against being distorted or tampered with by evil spirits, while secrets revealed to other righteous men are not so safe.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

بجز اپنے برگزیدہ رسول کے۔ پس یقیناً وہ اس کے آگے اور اُس کے پیچھے حفاظت کرتے ہوئے چلتا ہے۔

French

Sauf à celui qu’Il choisit en tant que Son Messager. Et Il le fait précéder et suivre d’une escorte d’anges,

German

außer allein dem, den Er erwählt, nämlich einem Gesandten. Und dann lässt Er eine Schutzwache vor ihm schreiten und hinter ihm,

Chinese

除非是他 (为这事) 所选择的使者。然后他指定了 (天使的) 一个保护队随行于他的前后,[1508]

这节经文体现了一条无可争辩标准, 以区别向安拉的使者启示的未知领域的奥秘的性质和范围, 以及向其他走正道的信者揭示的未知领域的奥秘的性质和范围。这种区别就在于, 安拉的使者得到了恩赐的 اِظْهَار عَلَى الْغَيْب (Izhar ‘alal-Ghaib), 即在所启示目未见的知识的数量上占优势, 而安拉的贤哲者, 不享有这一特征。再者, 安拉的使者所赐得的启示得到了安拉的特殊保护, 不会遭到邪恶的精神界的歪曲或窜改, 而其他走正道的信者所启示到的奥秘不那么安全。

Italian

eccetto a colui che si sceglie come Suo messaggero. E davanti a lui e dietro di lui marciano angeli come sentinelle,

Spanish

Excepto a quien elige como Mensajero Suyo. Y una escolta de ángeles marchan por delante y detrás de él,

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

سوائے ایسے رسول کے جس کو وہ اس کام کے لئے پسند کر[1] لیتا ہے اور اس رسول کی یہ شان ہے کہ اس کے آگے بھی اور اس کے پیچھے بھی محافظ فرشتوں کی گارد چلتی ہے۔

یعنی وہ اس کو کثرت سے علوم غیبیہ بخشتا ہے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

سوائے اُس رسول کے جسے اُس نے (غیب کا کوئی علم دینے کے لیے) پسند کر لیا ہو، تو اُس کے آگے اور پیچھے وہ محافظ لگا دیتا ہے

English - Sahih

Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

مگر اپنے پسندیدہ رسول کو پھراس کے آگے اور پیچھے محافظ مقرر کر دیتا ہے

English - Talal Itani

Except whom He has approved of a Messenger, and indeed, He makes to march from before him and from behind him a guard,

Except to him whom He chooses from among His Messengers. Then He appoints an escort of angels to go before him and behind him,
