Word by word

وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا۟ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ تَرَىٰٓ أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ ۖ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱكْتُبْنَا مَعَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ

And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses.

ومما يدل على قرب مودتهم للمسلمين أن فريقًا منهم (وهم وفد الحبشة لما سمعوا القرآن) فاضت أعينهم من الدمع فأيقنوا أنه حقٌّ منزل من عند الله تعالى، وصدَّقوا بالله واتبعوا رسوله، وتضرعوا إلى الله أن يكرمهم بشرف الشهادة مع أمَّة محمد عليه السلام على الأمم يوم القيامة.
