ٱلصَّفّ : ٥

  • وَإِذۡ And when
  • قَالَ said
  • مُوسَىٰ Musa
  • لِقَوۡمِهِۦ to his people
  • يَٰقَوۡمِ O my people
  • لِمَ Why
  • تُؤۡذُونَنِي do you hurt me
  • وَقَد while certainly
  • تَّعۡلَمُونَ you know
  • أَنِّي that I am
  • رَسُولُ (the) Messenger
  • ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah
  • إِلَيۡكُمۡۖ to you
  • فَلَمَّا Then when
  • زَاغُوٓاْ they deviated
  • أَزَاغَ (was caused to) deviate
  • ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah
  • قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ their hearts
  • وَٱللَّهُ And Allah
  • لَا (does) not
  • يَهۡدِي guide
  • ٱلۡقَوۡمَ the people
  • ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ the defiantly disobedient
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allāh to you?" And when they deviated, Allāh caused their hearts to deviate. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
And, mention, when Moses said to his people, 'O my people, why do you harm me - [for] they had said that he had a hernia in his testicles, which he did not have, and they denied him - when certainly (qad is for confirmation) you know that I am the messenger of God to you?' (annee rasoolu'Llaahi ilaykum: this sentence is a circumstantial qualifier) and [when you know that] messengers ought to be respected. So when they deviated, when they swerved away from the truth by harming him, God caused their hearts to deviate: He turned them away from guidance, in accordance to what He had preordained since pre-eternity, and God does not guide the immoral folk, those who, in His knowledge, are disbelievers.
