كَادُواْ

لَيَفۡتِنُونَكَ

عَنِ

ٱلَّذِيٓ

أَوۡحَيۡنَآ

إِلَيۡكَ

لِتَفۡتَرِيَ

عَلَيۡنَا

غَيۡرَهُۥۖ

وَإِذٗا

لَّٱتَّخَذُوكَ

خَلِيلٗا

They definitely ˹thought they˺ were about to lure you away from what We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺, hoping that you would attribute something else to Us falsely—and then they would have certainly taken you as a close friend.¹

Had We not made you steadfast, you probably would have inclined to them a little,

and then We truly would have made you taste double ˹punishment˺ both in this life and after death, and you would have found no helper against Us.
