Mercy

You were not present on the western side when We decreed Our command to Moses, nor were you among the witnesses.

28:44And thou (Muhammad) wast not on the western side (of the Mount) when We expounded unto Moses the commandment, and thou wast not among those present;

But We raised generations after him, and their lives grew long. You were not present among the people of Midian, reciting Our revelations to them, but We sent messengers.

28:45But We brought forth generations, and their lives dragged on for them. And thou wast not a dweller in Midian, reciting unto them Our revelations, but We kept sending (messengers to men).

Nor were you on the side of the mountain when We called Moses, but it is a mercy from your Lord, so you may warn a people who had no warner before you, so they may take heed.

28:46And thou was not beside the Mount when We did call; but (the knowledge of it is) a mercy from thy Lord that thou mayst warn a folk unto whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may give heed.

Otherwise, they might say, “If only a messenger had come to us, we would have followed the signs of Allah and not been among the condemned.”

28:47Otherwise, if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them), they might say: Our Lord! Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us, that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers?

But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “Why was he not given what Moses was given?” Did they not reject what Moses was given before? They said, “Two kinds of magic supporting each other.” And they said, “We reject both.”

28:48But when there came unto them the Truth from Our presence, they said: Why is he not given the like of what was given unto Moses? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses of old? They say: Two magics that support each other; and they say: Lo! in both we are disbelievers.

And We have sent you not but as a tender mercy, flowing outward to all realms of being.

21:107We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.

A messenger has come to you from among yourselves, grieved by your suffering, concerned for you, and deeply compassionate and merciful toward the believers.

9:128There hath come unto you a messenger, (one) of yourselves, unto whom aught that ye are overburdened is grievous, full of concern for you, for the believers full of pity, merciful.
