قال سنشد عضدك باخيك ونجعل لكما سلطانا فلا يصلون اليكما باياتنا انتما ومن اتبعكما الغالبون ٣٥
قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطَـٰنًۭا فَلَا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُمَا ۚ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أَنتُمَا وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ٣٥
قَالَ
سَنَشُدُّ
عَضُدَكَ
بِأَخِيكَ
وَنَجۡعَلُ
لَكُمَا
سُلۡطَٰنٗا
فَلَا
يَصِلُونَ
إِلَيۡكُمَا
بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۚ
أَنتُمَا
وَمَنِ
ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا
ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
