Transliteration:( Zurriyyatam ba'duhaa mim ba'd; wallaahu Samee'un 'Aleem )
72. If the progeny of Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) and the progeny of Hazrat Imran are united with one another in matters of Religion therefore, Oh you Yahud, if you were true progeny of Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) you would have been believers and our helpers in matters of faith. Hence, you are false in your present claim. From this we learn that the sincere progeny of the pious are those who emulate their way of life. True Sayyed (descendent) is he who patterns his life in accordance with the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet .

31. The real error of the Christians lies in considering Jesus to be the son of God and a partner in His godhead, rather than His servant and Messenger. If this misunderstanding was removed it would become quite easy for them to advance towards Islam. Hence at the very outset of the discourse it is mentioned that Adam, Noah and the Prophets in the house of Abraham and ‘Imran were all human beings. Even though many Prophets were born in the same family, one from the other, none of them was God. Their merit lay in the fact that God had chosen them to preach His religion and reform the world.
