21. Say: I do not control for you evil or good.

22. Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge:

23. (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle, surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time.

24. Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number.

25. Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term:

26. The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any,

27. Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him,

28. So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them, and He records the number of all things.
