وَمَا And not مُحَمَّدٌ (is) Muhammad إِلَّا except رَسُولٌۭ a Messenger قَدْ certainly خَلَتْ passed away مِن from قَبْلِهِ before him ٱلرُّسُلُ ۚ [the] (other) Messengers أَفَإِي۟ن So if مَّاتَ he died أَوْ or قُتِلَ is slain ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ will you turn back عَلَىٰٓ on أَعْقَـٰبِكُمْ ۚ your heels وَمَن And whoever يَنقَلِبْ turns back عَلَىٰ on عَقِبَيْهِ his heels فَلَن then never يَضُرَّ will he harm ٱللَّهَ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا ۗ (in) anything وَسَيَجْزِى And will reward ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the grateful ones ١٤٤

Muḥammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allāh at all; but Allāh will reward the grateful.
