An-Nur 24:54

Word by word

قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُم مَّا حُمِّلْتُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا۟ ۚ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Say, "Obey Allāh and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."

قل - أيها الرسول - للناس: أطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول، فإن تعرضوا فإنما على الرسول فِعْلُ ما أُمر به من تبليغ الرسالة، وعلى الجميع فِعْلُ ما كُلِّفوه من الامتثال، وإن تطيعوه ترشدوا إلى الحق، وليس على الرسول إلا أن يبلغ رسالة ربه بلاغًا بينًا.
