* Note 078:039a. The above translation answers the question ‘Who is the Spirit’ but our Commentary “The (Holy) Spirit” has discussed some different assertions as well.
** Note 078:039b. The Holy spirit and Angels are mentioned in the first part of this verse; so it is logical that God’s permission to speak to Him would also refer to them. But a different translation was given as “None shall speak except (Muhammad) to whom the Most Gracious (God) will grant permission and who will speak (only) what is right.”
