﴿ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةًۭ يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوا۟ ۖ وَكَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ ﴾

“and [as] We raised among them leaders who, so long as they bore themselves with patience and had sure faith in Our messages, guided [their people] in accordance with Our behest [so, too, shall it be with the divine writ revealed unto thee, O Muhammad.]”

And We appointed among them leaders read a-immatan by pronouncing both hamzas or by substituting the second one with a yā who guided people by Our command when they had endured patiently in observing their religion and against the hardships they suffered because of their enemies lammā ‘when’ a variant reading has limā ‘because’ and had conviction in Our signs the ones indicating Our power and Our Oneness.
