Moses and the family of Aaron, carried by angels. In this
is a symbol for you if ye indeed have faith."
P: And their Prophet said unto them: Lo! the token of his kingdom is
that there shall come unto you the ark wherein is peace of reassurance
from your Lord, and a remnant of that which the house of Moses and the
house of Aaron left behind, the angels bearing it. Lo! herein shall be
a token for you if (in truth) ye are believers.
S: And the prophet said to them: Surely the sign of His kingdom is, that
there shall come to you the chest in which there is tranquillity from
your Lord and residue of the relics of what the children of Musa and
the children of Haroun have left, the angels bearing it; most surely
there is a sign in this for those who believe.
