And there are others who hurt the Prophet by saying, “He listens to anyone.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He listens to what is best for you. He believes in Allah, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy for those who believe among you.” Those who hurt Allah’s Messenger will suffer a painful punishment.
Explanation
These readings amount to the same meaning, though the first is broader in describing the merciful nature of the Prophet (ﷺ) [Makki].
