Translation
Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught: It is man that wrongs his own soul.
Tafsir
Verily God does not wrong mankind in any way, but mankind wrong themselves.
"The Command to be Free and Clear from the Idolators
Allah says;
وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ
And if they belie you,
Allah said to His Prophet:`If these idolators belie you, then be clear from them and their deeds.'
فَقُل لِّي عَمَلِي وَلَكُمۡ عَمَلُكُمۡ
Say:""For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds!""
Similarly, Allah said:
قُلۡ يأَيُّهَا الۡكَـفِرُونَ
لَا أَعۡبُدُ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
Say:""O you disbelievers! I worship not that which you worship."" (109:1-2) to the end of the Surah.
Ibrahim Al-Khalil (the Friend) and his followers said to the idolators among their people:
إِنَّا بُرَءاواۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ وَمِمَّا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ
Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah. (60:4)
أَنتُمۡ بَرِييُونَ مِمَّا أَعۡمَلُ وَأَنَاۡ بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ
You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!""
Allah then said:
وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَيۡكَ
And among them are some who listen to you,
They listen to your beautiful talk and to the Glorious Qur'an. They listen to your truthful, eloquent and authentic Hadiths that are useful to the hearts, the bodies and their faith. This is indeed a great benefit and is sufficient. But guiding the people to the truth is not up to you or to them. You cannot make the deaf hear. Therefore you cannot guide these people except if Allah wishes.
أَفَأَنتَ تُسۡمِعُ الصُّمَّ وَلَوۡ كَانُواۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ
but can you make the deaf to hear -- even though they apprehend not!
وَمِنهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡكَ
And among them are some who look at you,
They look at you and at what Allah has given you in terms of dignity, noble personality and great conduct. There is in all of this clear evidence of your Prophethood to those who have reason and insight. Other people also look but they do not receive guidance like them. Believers look at you with respect and dignity while disbelievers regard you with contempt.
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلاَّ هُزُواً
And when they see you, they treat you only in mockery. (25:41)
أَفَأَنتَ تَهۡدِي الۡعُمۡيَ وَلَوۡ كَانُواۡ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ
but can you guide the blind -- even though they see not!
Then Allah announces that He is never unjust with anyone. He guides whomever He wills and opens the eyes of the blind, makes the deaf hear and removes neglect from the hearts. At the same time He lets others go astray, moving away from faith. He does all of that yet He is always Just, for He is the Ruler and has full authority over His kingdom. He does whatever He wills without any restrictions. No one can question Him as to what He does while he will question everyone else. He is Omniscient, All-Wise, and All-Just.
So Allah said:
إِنَّ اللّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيۡيًا وَلَـكِنَّ النَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ
Truly, Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves.
In the Hadith narrated by Abu Dharr, he states that the Prophet related that His Lord, Exalted and High is He, said:
يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمۡتُ الظُّلۡمَ عَلَى نَفۡسِي وَجَعَلۡتُهُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ مُحَرَّمًا فَلَا تَظَالَمُوا
O My servant! I have prohibited oppression for Myself and made it prohibited for you, so do not oppress one another,Until He said at the end of the Hadith
يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعۡمَالُكُمۡ أُحۡصِيهَا لَكُمۡ ثُمَّ أُوفِيكُمۡ إِيَّاهَا فَمَنۡ وَجَدَ خَيۡرًا فَلۡيَحۡمَدِ اللهَ وَمَنۡ وَجَدَ غَيۡرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلاَّ نَفۡسَه
O My servants! It is but your deeds that I reckon for you and then recompense you for. So let him who finds good (in the Hereafter) praise Allah. And let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.
The complete version was recorded by Muslim."
