Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Hud 11:91

Word by word

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًا ۖ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَـٰكَ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ

They said, "O Shuʿayb, we do not understand much of what you say, and indeed, we consider you among us as weak. And if not for your family, we would have stoned you [to death]; and you are not to us one respected."

قالوا: يا شعيب ما نفقه كثيرًا مما تقول، وإننا لَنراك فينا ضعيفًا لست من الكبراء ولا من الرؤساء، ولولا مراعاة عشيرتك لقتلناك رَجْما بالحجارة -وكان رهطه من أهل ملتهم-، وليس لك قَدْر واحترام في نفوسنا.
