(Say) to them, O Muhammad: (I have no power to) avoid (hurt or) bring (benefit) to (myself, save that which Allah willeth) of hurt or benefit. (For every nation there is an appointed time) a respite and determined time. (When their time cometh) when the time of their destruction comes, (then they cannot put it off an hour) after the appointed time, (nor hasten (it)) before the appointed time.
- 10:4949
قُلْ لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۚ إِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ
Say: "I have no power over my own gain or loss other than what God may please." Every people have a certain term. When their time is come they can neither delay it an hour nor advance it a moment forward.
