قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ إِن نَّحْنُ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَمُنُّ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نَّأْتِيَكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
3:165; 6:125.
18:111; 41:7.
A Messenger of God who is sent for the guidance of men and to serve as a model or exemplar for them must be a man like themselves; for, without being a human being like themselves, he could not be a model for them.
18:111; 41:7.
3:165; 6:125.
Commentary:
This verse constitutes a reply to the objections of disbelievers mentioned in the preceding verse.
The reply is to the effect that a Messenger of God who is sent for the guidance of men and to serve as a model or exemplar for them must be a man like themselves; for, without being a human being like themselves, he could not be a model for them. If he were a "co-partner" of God or a so-called "son" or an angel or any other superhuman being, he could not be a model for men. So God chooses of His servants whom He pleases. There is none to set limits to His powers and choice.
The words, And it is not for us to bring you a proof except by the command of Allah, do not mean that the Messengers of God could not adduce a proof in support of their claim. They are meant only to answer the demand of disbelievers that the Prophets should prove their power and superiority over them. They are told by the Messengers that power and victory all come from God and that, as human beings, they (the Messengers) possess no superiority over them.

يسٓ
يٰسٓ (Ya Sin) 这一缩写字母组合中, س (Sin) 这一字母, 按照伊本•阿巴斯的看法, 代表 اَلْاِنْسَان (al-Insan), 意思是人或者完善的人; 或者代表 سَيِّد (Sayyid) 即领袖。因此, Ya Sin 这一用语的意思是,” 完善的人啊!” 或 “完善的领袖啊!” 按照学者们一致的意见, 这里指的是穆圣。他是一个完善的人, 因为他是人类最好的和最完善的榜样。他是 “最完善的领袖,” 因为他降临以后, 伟大的宗教改革者和安拉派遣的导师只能从信奉他的人们中间显现出来, 所有其他先知的信奉者接受安拉启示之门已经关闭了。
س سَیِّدٌ کا قائم مقام ہے۔ اگلی آیتوں میں رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سیّد ہونے کی دلیل دی ہے۔ اور وہ دلیل قرآن حکیم ہے۔
In the combined abbreviated letters Ya Sin, the letter Sin according to Ibn-e-‘Abbas stands for al-Insan meaning, man or perfect man; or for Sayyid (chief or leader). Thus the expression Ya Sin would mean, 'O Perfect Man!' or 'O Perfect Leader!' According to consensus of scholarly opinion, the reference is to the Holy Prophet. He was 'the perfect man' because humanity found its best and most perfect specimen in him and he was 'the perfect leader,' because after his advent great religious Reformers and Divine Teachers were to rise only from among his followers, the door of revelation having been closed to the followers of all other Prophets.
Commentary:
In the combined abbreviated letters یاسین the word سین according to Ibn ‘Abbas stands for الانسان meaning, man or perfect man, or for سید i.e. chief or leader. Thus the expression یاسین would mean, "O Perfect Man!" or "O Perfect Leader!" According to the consensus of scholarly opinion, the reference in these combined letters is to the Holy Prophet. The Prophet has been addressed as "Perfect Man" because humanity found its best and most perfect specimen in him. He has also been called "the Perfect Leader," because after his advent great religious Reformers and divine teachers were to rise only from among his followers. The door of revelation has been closed to the followers of all other Prophets. He is therefore "the perfect man" or the "leader par excellence."
