Allah comforts His Prophet by saying to Him, `just as these idolators denied
you, the disbelievers of old used the same words with their Messengers,'
[كَذَلِكَ مَآ أَتَى
الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ قَالُواْ سَـحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
]
(Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer
or a madman!'') Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said,
[أَتَوَاصَوْاْ
بِهِ]
(Have they transmitted this saying to these), meaning, have those of the past
taught these words to the people of the present
[بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ
طَـغُونَ]
(Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!) They are
tyrannical people whose hearts are the same. Therefore, the latter said the same
as those before them have said. Allah the Exalted said,
[فَتَوَلَّ
عَنْهُمْ]
(So turn away from them,) meaning, `O Muhammad, turn away from the Quraysh
idolators,'
[فَمَآ أَنتَ
بِمَلُومٍ]
(you are not blameworthy.) meaning, `We blame you not if you turn away from
them,'
[وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ
الذِّكْرَى تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ]
(And remind, for verily, the reminding profits the believers.) meaning, for
only the believing hearts benefit from being reminded.
