The Noble Quran
EnglishAnd had We not made you stand firm, you would nearly have inclined to them a little.
Muhammad Asad
EnglishAnd whenever danger befalls you at sea, all those [powers] that you are wont to invoke forsake you, [and nothing remains for you] save Him: but as soon as He has brought you safe ashore, you turn aside [and forget Him] – for, indeed, bereft of all gratitude is man!
Fatah Muhammad Jalandhari
Urduاور اگر تم کو ثابت قدم نہ رہنے دیتے تو تم کسی قدر ان کی طرف مائل ہونے ہی لگے تھے

Tafsir al-Sa'di
Salafi Approved{ وَ } مع هذا فـ { لَوْلَا أَنْ ثَبَّتْنَاكَ } على الحق، وامتننا عليك بعدم الإجابة لداعيهم، { لَقَدْ كِدْتَ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا } من كثرة المعالجة، ومحبتك لهدايتهم.
Tafsir al-Muyassar
Salafi Approvedولولا أن ثبَّتناك على الحق، وعصمناك عن موافقتهم، لَقاربْتَ أن تميل إليهم ميلا قليلا من كثرة المعالجة ورغبتك في هدايتهم.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Salafi Approvedيخبر تعالى عن تأييده رسوله صلوات الله عليه وسلامه وتثبيته وعصمته وسلامته من شر الأشرار وكيد الفجار وأنه تعالى هو المتولي أمره ونصره وأنه لا يكله إلى أحد من خلقه بل هو وليه وحافظه وناصره ومؤيده ومظفره ومظهر دينه على من عاداه وخالفه وناوأه في مشارق الأرض ومغاربها صلى الله عليه وسلم تسليما كثيرا إلى يوم الدين.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
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.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Salafi Approvedمکار و فجار کی چلاکیوں سے اللہ تعالیٰ ہمیشہ اپنے رسول کو بچاتا رہا آپ کو معصوم اور ثابت قدم ہی رکھا خود ہی آپ کا ولی و ناصر رہا اپنی ہی حفاظت اور صیانت میں ہمیشہ آپ کو رکھا آپ کی تائید اور نصرت برابر کرتا رہا آپ کے دین کو دنیا کے تمام دینوں پر غالب کردیا آپ کے مخالفین کے بلند بانگ ارادوں کو پست کردیا مشرق سے مغرب تک آپ کا کلمہ پھیلا دیا اسی کا بیان ان دونوں آیتوں میں ہے۔ اللہ تعالیٰ آپ پر قیامت تک بیشمار درود وسلام بھیجتا رہے۔ آمین۔
