Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Had Allah willed, they had not been idolatrous. We have not set thee as a keeper over them, nor art thou responsible for them.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If it had been Allah's plan, they would not have taken false gods: but We made thee not one to watch over their doings, nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( ولو شاء الله ما أشركوا ) أي : بل له المشيئة والحكمة فيما يشاؤه ويختاره ، لا يسأل عما يفعل وهم يسألون .

وقوله : ( وما جعلناك عليهم حفيظا ) أي : حافظا تحفظ أعمالهم وأقوالهم ( وما أنت عليهم بوكيل ) أي : موكل على أرزاقهم وأمورهم ( إن عليك إلا البلاغ ) كما قال تعالى : ( فذكر إنما أنت مذكر لست عليهم بمسيطر ) [ الغاشية : 21 ، 22 ] ، وقال ( فإنما عليك البلاغ وعلينا الحساب ) [ الرعد : 40 ] .
