ثُمَّ Then قَفَّيْنَا We sent عَلَىٰٓ on ءَاثَـٰرِهِم their footsteps بِرُسُلِنَا Our Messengers وَقَفَّيْنَا and We followed بِعِيسَى with Isa ٱبْنِ son مَرْيَمَ (of) Maryam وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ and We gave him ٱلْإِنجِيلَ the Injeel وَجَعَلْنَا And We placed فِى in قُلُوبِ (the) hearts ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who ٱتَّبَعُوهُ followed him رَأْفَةًۭ compassion وَرَحْمَةًۭ and mercy وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً But monasticism ٱبْتَدَعُوهَا they innovated مَا not كَتَبْنَـٰهَا We prescribed it عَلَيْهِمْ for them إِلَّا only ٱبْتِغَآءَ seeking رِضْوَٰنِ (the) pleasure ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah فَمَا but not رَعَوْهَا they observed it حَقَّ (with) right رِعَايَتِهَا ۖ observance فَـَٔاتَيْنَا So We gave ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believed مِنْهُمْ among them أَجْرَهُمْ ۖ their reward وَكَثِيرٌۭ but most مِّنْهُمْ of them فَـٰسِقُونَ (are) defiantly disobediently ٢٧
Then We sent following their footsteps [i.e., traditions] Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allāh. But they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
