Commentary

Nutakhattaf – {we would be swept (carried off)}, this word has come out from takhattufun, which means “to take away, to be swept”.

It is part of the previous verse. Allaah Almighty commands: When they hear vanity they withdraw from it and get rid of those who do useless works; saying to them: “For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. We say, forgive us, peace be upon you. We don’t wish to keep any relationship with those who do not use their sense”.

In these verses, it has been indicated towards those four persons who were from the People of the Scripture, came from Syria and Abyssinia (name of a Country situated in Africa), and they embraced Islam after hearing the Revelations of Holy Qur’an. When they were returning, the people of Makkah made insinuations about them, and they replied the same which has been mentioned in this verse.

Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) used to grieve that the people come from foreign Countries and embrace Islam, but his own relatives do not admit his Sayings. In this regard, it is commanded: O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): You cannot guide whom you like. Your responsibility is to convey the Message of Allaah Almighty only. That will find guidance to whom He wills.

One objection of the Infidels of Makkah was that: O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): All people of Arab will exile us from this Country if we shall obey your Sayings and follow the teachings of your Islam.
