Surah Al-Isra, ayah 57

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ يَبۡتَغُونَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمُ ٱلۡوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمۡ أَقۡرَبُ وَيَرۡجُونَ رَحۡمَتَهُۥ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحۡذُورٗا ٥٧

Ulā'ikal-ladhīna yad'ūna yabtaghūna ilā rabbihimul-wasīlata ayyuhum aqrabu wayarjūna rahmatahū wayakhāfūna 'adhābahū inna 'adhāba rabbika kāna mahdhūrā
