Those were the ones upon whom Allāh bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.

That which follows it [mina'lnabeeyyeena, 'from among the prophets'] up to [where] the conditional sentence begins, constitutes an adjectival qualification of al-nabeeyyeena, 'the prophets'; and so His saying . ) of the seed of Adam, namely, Idrees, and of those whom We carried with Noah, in the Ark, namely, Abraham - [who is the] son of his [Noah's] son Shem (Saam) - and of the seed of Abraham, namely, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and, of the seed of, Israel - who is Jacob - namely, Moses, Aaron, Zachariah, John and Jesus, and from among those whom We guided and chose, that is to say, from among their number (the predicate of oolaa'ika, 'those', is [the following, idhaa tutlaa .]) when the signs of the Compassionate One were recited to them, they would fall down prostrating and weeping (these [sujjadan and bukeeyyan] constitute the plural [forms] of saajid, 'prostrate', and baakin, 'weeping' [respectively]) in other words [what is meant is]: be [you] like them (bukiyyun is originally [formed from] bakooyyin, but the waaw is changed into a yaa' and the damma vowel into a kasra).
