Quran 37:171
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Our word had already been given before to Our votaries, the apostles, --
Certainly Our decree has gone beforehand in favour of Our servants, the apostles,
And indeed Our Word has already gone forth for Our bondmen who were sent.
Already Our Word has preceded to Our servants, the Envoys;
And verily, has preceded Our Word for Our slaves, the Messengers,
And assuredly Our word hath already gone forth Our bondmen, the sent ones:
And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,
We have already given Our promise to Our Messengers
We decreed that Our Messenger servants
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
Our Word had already preceded Our worshipers, the Messengers,
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
Our Word has already gone out to our servant messengers.
And surely Our word has gone forth respecting Our servants, the messengers:
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
