Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And remember when Allah took a covenant
from the Prophets; "If I give you the Book and knowledge and the (promised)
Noble
Messenger (Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) comes
to you, confirming the Books you possess, you shall positively, definitely
believe in him and you shall positively, definitely help him"; He said,
"Do you agree, and accept My binding responsibility in this matter?" They
all answered, "We agree"; He said, "Then bear witness amongst yourselves,
and I Myself am a witness with you."
Yusuf Ali:
Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you a messenger, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."
Pickthal:
When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you.
