﴿ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ٱلْخُلْدَ ۖ أَفَإِي۟ن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِدُونَ ﴾
“AND [remind those who deny thee, O Prophet, that] never have We granted life everlasting to any mortal before thee: but do they, perchance, hope that although thou must die, they will live forever?””
(We appointed) We have created (immortality) in this worldly life (for no mortal) among the prophets (before thee. What! if thou diest) O Muhammad, (can they be immortal) in this worldly life? This verse was revealed when they said: we will wait until Muhammad dies and then we will find rest.
