The Arabic word "mesani" probably derived from the the Hebrew word "mishna" (repetition).
=== Qur'an 17:22-36 ===
# Qur'an 17:22 Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution.
# Qur'an 17:23 Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.
# Qur'an 17:36 And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
=== Qur'an 17:22-36 and the "Ten Commandments" ===
It is interesting if these verse correspond to the "Ten Commandments", only seven of them appear:
The second, third and fourth commandments (You shall not make unto thee any graven image or likeness of any thing. You shall not take the name of the L-rd your G-d in vain. Remember the Sabbath day) were left out perhaps as not being applicable to Islam, being particular to Judaism. The key may be in Qur'an 15:87 “..We have given you seven (sections) of mesaniy and this great Qur'an..” Perhaps these seven were derived by Qur'an from Noahide law instead.
=== Qur'an 17:22-36 and Noahide law ===
A possible connection between the Qur'an 17:22-36 and Noahide law might be in chapter "Nooh" (Noah):
