M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

you but a mortal like ourselves, and we do not see any have followed you but those who are the meanest* of us at first thought and we do not see in you any excellence over us; nay, we deem you liars.

28. He said: O my people! tell me if I have with me clear proof from my Lord, and He has granted me mercy from Himself and it has been made obscure to you; shall we constrain you to (accept) it while you are averse from it?

29. And, O my people! I ask you not for wealth in return for it; my reward is only with Allah and I am not going to drive away those who believe; surely they shall meet their Lord, but I consider you a people who are ignorant:

30. And, O my people! who will help me against Allah if I drive them away? Will you not then mind?

31. And I do not say to you that I have the treasures of Allah; and I do not know the unseen, nor do I say that I am an angel; nor do I say about those whom your eyes hold in mean estimation (that) Allah will never grant them (any) good — Allah knows best what is in their souls — for then most surely I should be of the unjust.
