وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَآ ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَٰذَا غَٰفِلِينَ ﴿172﴾

7:172. And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
اور جب تمہارے پروردگار نے بنی آدم سے یعنی ان کی پیٹھوں سے ان کی اولاد نکالی تو ان سے خود ان کے مقابلے میں اقرار کرا لیا (یعنی ان سے پوچھا کہ) کیا تمہارا پروردگار نہیں ہوں۔ وہ کہنے لگے کیوں نہیں ہم گواہ ہیں (کہ تو ہمارا پروردگار ہے) ۔ یہ اقرار اس لیے کرایا تھا کہ قیامت کے دن (کہیں یوں نہ) کہنے لگو کہ ہم کو تو اس کی خبر ہی نہ تھی
