90. They say, "We shall not believe in you until you cause a spring to gush forth for us from the earth,"
91. "Or you have a garden of date trees and vines, and cause rivers to gush forth in their midst, carrying abundant water,"
92. "Or you cause the sky to fall in pieces, as you say, against us, or you bring Allah and the angels face to face,"
93. "Or you have a house adorned with gold, or you mount a ladder right into the skies. No, we shall not even believe in your mounting until you send down to us a book that we can read." Say, "Glory to my Lord! Am I aught but a man, a messenger?"
94. What kept humans back from belief when Guidance came to them was nothing but this: they said, "Has Allah sent a man to be messenger?"
95. Say, "If there were settled on earth angels walking about in peace and quiet, God would certainly sent them down from the heavens an angel for a messenger."
96. Say, "Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you, for God is Well-acquainted with God's servants, and God Sees!"
The Night Journey 17:90-96

Glory to my Lord! Am I aught but a man, a messenger?
If there were settled on earth angels walking about in peace and quiet, God would certainly sent them down from the heavens an angel for a messenger.
Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you, for God is Well-acquainted with God's servants, and God Sees!
