Transliteration:( Qaala yaa qawmi laisa bee dalaalatunw wa laakinnee Rasoolum mir Rabbil 'aalameen )
153. From this, we learn that Prophethood and misguidance cannot be together, and no Prophet can ever go astray for even a moment, because if a statement is separated by a conjunction but. what is to follow after it will not be included with what is said before it. Thus, if the Prophets themselves go astray then who would give them guidance?
154. If the kings of the world do not appoint ministers and governors who are incapable, uneducated, and unintelligent then how would it be possible for Allah Almighty? the Lord of the Worlds to appoint anyone to the position of prophethood who is gone astray or is uneducated? This would be an insult to Allah Almighty, that His choice of persons is wrong and inappropriate.
