Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

That was because their messengers (from Allah) kept coming unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they said: Shall mere mortals guide us? So they disbelieved and turned away, and Allah was independent (of them). Allah is Absolute, Owner of Praise.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

That was because there came to them messengers with Clear Signs, but they said: "Shall (mere) human beings direct us?" So they rejected (the Message) and turned away. But Allah can do without (them): and Allah is free of all needs, worthy of all praise.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( ذلك بأنه كانت تأتيهم رسلهم بالبينات ) أي : بالحجج والدلائل والبراهين ( فقالوا أبشر يهدوننا ) ؟ أي : استبعدوا أن تكون الرسالة في البشر ، وأن يكون هداهم على يدي بشر مثلهم ، ( فكفروا وتولوا ) أي : كذبوا بالحق ونكلوا عن العمل ، ( واستغنى الله ) أي : عنهم ( والله غني حميد )
