20 Preface وَجاءَ مِن أَقصَى المَدينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسعىٰ قالَ يا قَومِ اتَّبِعُوا المُرسَلينَYusuf AliThen there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man,1 saying, “O my people! Obey the messengers:While the wealthy, influential, and fashionable men in the City were doubtful of God’s providence and superstitiously believed in Chance and evil omens, the Truth was seen by a man in the outskirts of the City, a man held in low esteem by the arrogant. He had believed, and he wanted his City to believe. So, in Arabia, when the arrogant chiefs of Quraish exiled the Prophet, it was men from Madman and from the outskirts, who welcomed him, believed in him, and supported his mission in everyway.
