﴿ لَّن يَسْتَنكِفَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَن يَكُونَ عَبْدًۭا لِّلَّهِ وَلَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ۚ وَمَن يَسْتَنكِفْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيَسْتَكْبِرْ فَسَيَحْشُرُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعًۭا ﴾

“Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself:”

(The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah�) [4:172]. Said al-Kalbi: �The delegation of Najran said: �O Muhammad, why do you insult our lord?� He said: �And who is your lord?� They said: �It is Jesus�. �Why, what do I say about him?� he asked. They said: �You say he is the salve and messenger of Allah!� He said to them: �It is not shameful for Jesus to be the slave of Allah�. But they said: �It is shameful�, and then the verse (The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah) was revealed�.
