إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا (8)
(48:8) (O Prophet), We have sent you forth as a witness, *14 as a bearer of good news, and as a warner *15
*14) Shah Waliyullah has translated shahid as "a bearer of witness to the truth", and other translators translate it as "a bearer of the witness". The word shahadat comprehends both these meanings. For explanation, sec E.N. 82 of Surah Al-Ahzab.
*15) For explanation, see E.N. 33 of Surah Al-AhzaB.
