Note - 3189The leaders of the people are speaking, as the Quraish
leaders spoke in the time of the holy Prophet. "We know
that thou hast been trustworthy in thy life. But look at
the 'tag rag and bob tail' that follow thee! Dost thou
expect us to be like them or to be classed with them?"
His answer was: "I know nothing against them; if they
have done any wrong, or are only hypocrites, they are
answerable to Allah; how can I drive them away from me,
seeing that I am expressly sent to admonish all people?"
