Maelezo

These readings amount to the same meaning. The Prophet (ﷺ) or each listener to the Quran is being told never to have this mistaken idea. The variation between taḥsab and taḥsib is based on linguistic options in this verb. *One transmission from Hishām has wa-lā yaḥsabanna, which conveys the same meaning via the third person (‘A person/the Prophet should not think that…’) [see al-Alusi]. Ibn ʿĀmir's reading uses the form II verb to match more directly the large number of the slain.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
