وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً ۚ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۗ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ (38)
(13:38) We have sent many Messengers before you and We assigned to them also wives and children: *56 and no Messenger had the power to show any Sign without the sanction of Allah. *57 Every age had its Book:
*56) This is the answer to another objection. The disbelievers said that Ire could not be a Prophet of AIIah because he had wives and children, for they argued that Prophets had nothing to do with carnal desires.
