Transliteration:( Wa ka aiyim min Nabiyyin qaatala ma'ahoo ribbiyyoona kaseerun famaa wahanoo limaaa Asaabahum fee sabeelil laahi wa maa da'ufoo wa mas takaanoo; wallaahu yuhibbus saabireen )

From this, two issues emerge:
1. Those who are better should be better in their virtues. They should excel their inferiors in good deeds. Leaders, the learned and the saints should be more pious than the others.
2. To inspire others through speaking and showing the deeds of others is the way of Allah Almighty. In fact, to acquire historical information with the intention of receiving inspiration is a good thing.
315. Those who are firm in their devotion and obedience are among those who are patient,So are those who abstain from sins and are unshaken in the face of difficulties. Patience is of different kinds. In this verse, the third type is intended, as is being understood from place and time.
