(நபியே!) "உம்மிடம் ரூஹை (ஆத்மாவைப்) பற்றி அவர்கள் கேட்கிறார்கள். 'ரூஹு' என் இறைவனுடைய கட்டளையிலிருந்தே உண்டானது இன்னும் ஞானத்திலிருந்து உங்களுக்கு அளிக்கப்பட்டது மிகச் சொற்பமேயன்றி வேறில்லை" எனக் கூறுவீராக.

තවද ඔවුහු රූහ් (හෙවත් ප්‍රාණය) පිළිබඳ නුඹගෙන් විමසති. රූහ් (පිළිබඳ දැනුම) මාගේ පරමාධිපතිගේ නියෝගයෙන් වූවකි. තවද දැනුමෙන් නුඹලා වෙත පිරිනමනු ලැබ ඇත්තේ ස්වල්පයක් මිස නැතැයි නුඹ පවසනු.

But they said, `Ask him.' So they asked him about the Ruh. The Prophet kept quiet and did not give them an answer, and I knew that he was receiving revelation, so I stayed where I was. When the revelation was complete, the Prophet said: وَيَسَْلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّى (And they ask you concerning the Ruh (the spirit). Say: "The Ruh (the spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord...")
