48:29 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are firm against the disbelievers[1] and compassionate among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking Allah’s grace and pleasure. Their distinguishing sign is on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah[2]. And their description in the Gospel is like that of a seed that sprouts its shoot, then makes it strong; then it grows thick and stands straight on its stem[3], which delights the sowers – so that He may enrage thereby the disbelievers. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness and a great reward.

49:1 O you who believe, do not decide [any matter of importance] before Allah and His Messenger[1], and fear Allah, for Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

49:2 O you who believe, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak loudly to him as you speak loudly to one another[1], lest your deeds become worthless without you realizing it.

49:3 Indeed, those who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of Allah are those whose hearts Allah has tested for righteousness; for them there is forgiveness and a great reward[1].

49:4 As for those who call out to you [O Prophet] from behind the chambers, most of them have no understanding.
