"He eats of that of which you eat, and drinks of that of which you drink. 2535 b₁ وَلَبِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ بَشَرًا مِثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذَا And if you obey a man. 35 تَخْسِرُونَ like yourselves, you will then be surely losers. اَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنْتُمْ تُرَابًا Does he promise you that. 36 وَعِظَامًا أَنَّكُمْ مُّخْرَجُونَ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ when you are dead and have become dust and bones, you will be brought forth again? 37.
