104

O you who believe, do not say, to the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , 'Observe us,' (rā'inā is an imperative form from murā'āt), which they used to say to him, and this was a derogatory term in Hebrew, derived from the noun al-ru'ūna ['thoughtlessness']. They found this very amusing and used to address the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" in this way, and so the believers were forbidden to use it; but say, instead, 'Regard us', that is, look at us, and give ear, to what you are commanded and be prepared to accept it; and for disbelievers awaits a painful chastisement, that is, the Fire.
