Sura 17 Al-Israa — Aya 73
وَإِن كَادُوا۟ لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِىَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهُۥ ۖ وَإِذًۭا لَّٱتَّخَذُوكَ خَلِيلًۭا
Na hakika walikaribia kukushawishi uache tuliyo kufunulia ili utuzulie mengineyo. Na hapo ndio wangeli kufanya rafiki.
wa-in kādū layaftinūnaka ʿani alladhī awḥaynā ilayka litaftariya ʿalaynā ghayrahu wa-idhan la-ittakhadhūka khalīlan
Neno kwa neno
- وَإِن wa-in And indeed
- كَادُوا۟ kādū they were about (to)
- لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ layaftinūnaka tempt you away
- عَنِ ʿani from
- ٱلَّذِىٓ alladhī that which
- أَوْحَيْنَآ awḥaynā We revealed
- إِلَيْكَ ilayka to you
- لِتَفْتَرِىَ litaftariya that you invent
- عَلَيْنَا ʿalaynā about Us
- غَيْرَهُۥ ۖ ghayrahu other (than) it
- وَإِذًۭا wa-idhan And then
- لَّٱتَّخَذُوكَ la-ittakhadhūka surely they would take you
- خَلِيلًۭا khalīlan (as) a friend
Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
How the Prophet would have been punished if He had given in at all to the Disbelievers' Demands that He change some of the Revelation
Allah tells us how He supported His Prophet and protected him and kept him safe from the evil plots of the wicked transgressors. Allah is the One Who took care of him and helped him, and would not leave him to any of His creation. He is the One Who is His Helper, Supporter and Protector, the One Who is to help him achieve victory and make His religion prevail over those who resist him and oppose him and fight him in the east and in the west. May Allah send peace and blessings upon him until the Day of Judgement.
