Al-Ma'idah 117

مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ اِلَّا مَٓا اَمَرْتَن۪ي بِه۪ٓ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبّ۪ي وَرَبَّكُمْۚ وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَه۪يدًا مَا دُمْتُ ف۪يهِمْۚ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَن۪ي كُنْتَ اَنْتَ الرَّق۪يبَ عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَاَنْتَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَه۪يدٌ ۝١١٧

117"I told them only what You commanded me to. I said, 'Serve Allah alone, who is Lord/Owner of both you and me.' As long as I was among them, I saw and knew what they were doing; but after You caused me to die and took my soul, it is You who knows and sees what they have done. For You alone have been witness to all things from the very beginning."
