Verse 79

مَا Not كَانَ is لِبَشَرٍ for a human أَن that يُؤْتِيَهُ gives him ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَٱلْحُكْمَ and the wisdom وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ and the Prophethood ثُمَّ then يَقُولَ he says لِلنَّاسِ to the people كُونُوا۟ Be عِبَادًۭا worshippers لِّى of me مِن from دُونِ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah وَلَـٰكِن but (would say) كُونُوا۟ Be رَبَّـٰنِيِّـۧنَ worshippers of the Lord بِمَا because كُنتُمْ you have been تُعَلِّمُونَ teaching ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَبِمَا and because كُنتُمْ you have been تَدْرُسُونَ studying (it) ٧٩

It is not for a human [prophet] that Allāh should give him the Scripture and authority and prophethood and then he would say to the people, "Be servants to me rather than Allāh," but [instead, he would say], "Be pious scholars of the Lord because of what you have taught of the Scripture and because of what you have studied."
