Surah 17 Al-Israa — Ayah 41

سُورَةُ الإِسۡرَاءِ · Meccan · Hamza Roberto Piccardo

41

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا۟ وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا نُفُورًۭا

In verità abbiamo esposto [la dottrina] in questo Corano perché [i miscredenti] dessero ascolto, ma ciò non fa che aumentare la loro avversione.

walaqad ṣarrafnā fī hādhā l-qur'āni liyadhakkarū wamā yazīduhum illā nufūran

Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَـذَا الْقُرْءَانِ

(And surely, We have explained in this Qur'an) meaning, `We have explained Our warni- ngs so that they may remember the proof, evidence and exhorta- tions contained there- in, and be prevented from Shirk, wrong- doing and scandal.'

وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ

(but it increases them in naught) the wrong- doers among them

إِلاَّ نُفُورًا

(save aversion.) aversion towards the truth; they go further away from it.
