Al-A'raf 7:188 قل لا املك لنفسي نفعا ولا ضرا الا ما شاء الله ولو كنت اعلم الغيب لاستكثرت من الخير وما مسني السوء ان انا الا نذير وبشير لقوم يومنون ١٨٨
قُل
لَّآ
أَمۡلِكُ
لِنَفۡسِي
نَفۡعٗا
وَلَا
ضَرًّا
إِلَّا
مَا
شَآءَ
ٱللَّهُۚ
وَلَوۡ

أَعۡلَمُ
ٱلۡغَيۡبَ
لَٱسۡتَكۡثَرۡتُ
مِنَ
ٱلۡخَيۡرِ
وَمَا
مَسَّنِيَ
ٱلسُّوٓءُۚ
إِنۡ
أَنَا۠
إِلَّا
نَذِيرٞ
وَبَشِيرٞ
لِّقَوۡمٖ
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
