111. وَإِذْ أَوْحَيْتُ إِلَى ٱلْحَوَارِيِّۦنَ أَنْ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِى وَبِرَسُولِى قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَٱشْهَدْ بِأَنَّنَا مُسْلِمُونَ
 

110c.  and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) Thee when Thou camest unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than evident magic.  111.  And when I inspired the disciples, (saying): Believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: We believe and bear witness that we have surrendered (unto Thee).

Commentary

Here Allah Almighty has disclosed some more favors on Jesus (peace be upon Him) and says: It is also worth considering when You came unto the Children of Israel with clear proofs. Those of them who disbelieved; exclaimed: This is naught else than evident magic. They used to say that the punishment of a magician is killing and had decided not to believe in You. But I restrained them from harming You (Jesus - peace be upon Him) because they had intended to slay You but they could not succeed in their intention because I raised You up unto the heaven.

After that, in such condition, while the enemies were all around and none of them liked to listen to Him (Jesus - peace be upon Him), Allah Almighty says: I inspired some people to become Your friends and supporters. After inspiration they began to say, “We believed in Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon Him) that They are True. O God! Be our Witness that we promise that we will remain Your and Your Messenger’s obedient certainly”. Those people were titled as Hawaarii (friends). At another place they were named as ‘Ansaar (the helpers of Allah), as it is mentioned in a previous Chapter ‘Aali- ‘Imraan, and will come next in Chapter ‘As-Saf.

The description in respect of Messenger Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) has passed in the beginning of Part -3, Chapter Baqarah, then in fifth and sixth Section of Chapter ‘Aali- ‘Imraan. Here entire mentioned matters have been gathered at one place. By reflecting upon which, the facts of the birth and miracles of Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) are cleared.
