9: 128 Indeed, there has come unto you [O mankind] an Apostle form among yourselves: heavily weighs upon him that you might suffer [in the life to come]; full of concern for you, full of compassion and mercy towards the believers. [asad]


9: 128 Now has come unto you a Messenger from among yourselves [see note170]; it grieves him that you should perish; ardently anxious is he over you: to the Believers is he most kind and merciful. [ali]
