( قل ياأيها الناس قد جاءكم الحق من ربكم ) يعني : القرآن والإسلام ، ( فمن اهتدى فإنما يهتدي لنفسه ومن ضل فإنما يضل عليها ) أي : على نفسه ، ووباله عليه ، ( وما أنا عليكم بوكيل ) بكفيل ، أحفظ أعمالكم . قال ابن عباس : نسختها آية القتال .
Say, O Messenger: O people, the Qur’ān has come to you as a revelation from your Lord. Whoever follows the right path and has faith in it, the benefit of that will return to him, because Allah is in no need of the obedience of His servants. Yet whoever strays, the effect of his straying will only harm him, because Allah is not affected by the disobedience of His servants. I am not a guardian over you, to watch over your actions and to take you to account for them.
