Narrated Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

This Verse:

'Verily We have sent you (O Muhammad) as a witness, as a bringer of glad
tidings and as a warner.' (48.8)

Which is in the Qur'an, appears in the Surah thus: 'Verily We have sent you
(O Muhammad) as a witness, as a bringer of glad tidings and as a warner,
and as a protector for the illiterates (i.e. the Arabs.) You are my slave
and My Apostle, and I have named you Al-Mutawakkil (one who depends upon
Allah). You are neither hard-hearted nor of fierce character, nor one who
shouts in the markets. You do not return evil for evil, but excuse and
forgive. Allah will not take you unto Him till He guides through you a
crocked (curved) nation on the right path by causing them to say: "None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah." With such a statement He will cause
to open blind eyes, deaf ears and hardened hearts.'
