573. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said: ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) was asked about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[11:118] And if your Lord had pleased He would certainly have made people a single nation, and they shall not cease to differ [11:119] Except those on whom your Lord has mercy”, so he (asws) said: ‘They were one community, so Allah (azwj) Sent the Prophets (as) to take the Proof against them’.
