Surah Ya-Sin - Verse 14 إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمُ اثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّآ اِلَيْكُم مُّرْسَلُونَ 14.

“When We sent unto them two (of Our apostles) they belied them both, then We strengthened (the two) with a third and they said (unto the people): ‘Verily we are messengers to you (from Allah)’.” This holy verse says: “When We sent unto them two (of Our apostles) they belied them both, then We strengthened (the two) with a third and they said (unto the people): ‘Verily we are messengers to you (from Allah)’.” Thus, there came to this aberrant people three messengers of Allah.

The ideas are divided among the commentators that who were these messengers. Some of them have said: the names of those two were ‘Sham‘un’ and ‘Yuhanna’ and the third of them was Polos, while some others have mentioned other names for them.

Also that they were the messengers of Allah or the angels of Jesus (as), (And if Allah says: “ We sent ” it is for the sake that the messengers of Jesus are His messengers, too.) Again the ideas are divided among the commentators, though the apparent of the above verses adapts to the first commentary.

Surah Ya-Sin - Verses 15-17 قَالُوا مَآ أَنتُمْ إِلاَّ بَشَرٌ مّـِثْلُنَا وَمَآ أَنزَلَ الرَّحْمَنُ مِن شَيْءٍ اِنْ أَنتُمْ اِلاَّ تَكْذِبُونَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا يَعْلَمُ إِنَّآ اِلَيْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُونَ وَمَا عَلَيْنَآ إِلاَّ الْبَلاَغُ الْمُبِينُ 15. “They said: ‘You are not but men like unto us, nor has the Beneficent (Allah) sent down anything. You are speaking only lies’.” 16. “They (the messengers) said: ‘Our Lord knows that we have been sent to you.” 17.

“And our duty is only to deliver the clear Message’.” Now we deal with the reaction of those aberrant people in the face of the invitation of those Divine messengers. The Holy Qur’an implies that they expressed the same pretext that many disobedient unbelievers had formerly stated against the Divine prophets. The verse says: “They said: ‘You are not but men like unto us, nor has the Beneficent (Allah) sent down anything.

You are speaking only lies’.” Had it been decided that a messenger came from the side of Allah, he should be a near-stationed angel, not a mortal like us. They considered this very thing as a proof for rejecting the messengers and the denial of the descent of the command of Allah.
