تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ مِّنْهُم مَّن كَلَّمَ اللّهُ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَهُمْ دَرَجَاتٍ وَآتَيْنَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَيَّدْنَاهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَلَوْ شَاء اللّهُ مَا اقْتَتَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن بَعْدِهِم مِّن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ وَلَكِنِ اخْتَلَفُواْ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ آمَنَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن كَفَرَ وَلَوْ شَاء اللّهُ مَا اقْتَتَلُواْ وَلَكِنَّ اللّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ
﴿٢٥٣﴾
سورة البقرة
(2/253) Of those Messengers We have exalted some above others in virtue; to some of them Allah spoke; and some of them He exalted by degrees; and We gave clear evidences to Jesus, the son of Mary, and strengthened (supported him) with the Holy Spirit. And if Allah had willed, those after them would not have killed one another after the clear signs had come to them, but they differed; so there were some of them who believed and others who denied; and if Allah had willed they would not have killed each another, but Allah does what He wills.
Surah Al-Baqarah
