Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And they indeed strove hard to beguile thee (Muhammad) away from that wherewith We have inspired thee, that thou shouldst invent other than it against Us; and then would they have accepted thee as a friend.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

And their purpose was to tempt thee away from that which We had revealed unto thee, to substitute in our name something quite different; (in that case), behold! they would certainly have made thee (their) friend!

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يخبر تعالى عن تأييد رسوله - صلوات الله عليه وسلامه - وتثبيته ، وعصمته وسلامته من شر الأشرار وكيد الفجار ، وأنه تعالى هو المتولي أمره ونصره ، وأنه لا يكله إلى أحد من خلقه ، بل هو وليه وحافظه وناصره ومؤيده ومظفره ، ومظهر دينه على من عاداه وخالفه وناوأه ، في مشارق الأرض ومغاربها ، صلى الله عليه وسلم تسليما كثيرا إلى يوم الدين .
