Ayat
15. Whoever thinks
that Allah will not help him (Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) in this world and in the Hereafter, let him stretch
out a rope to the ceiling and let him strangle himself. Then let him see whether
his plan will remove that whereat he rages!
Ayat 16. Thus have We sent it (this
Qur'an) down (to Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) as clear signs, evidences and proofs, and
surely, Allah guides whom He wills.
[Tafseer] If any
think that Allah will not help him (His Messenger [SAWW](PBUH). in this world
and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut
(himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages
(him)! There is some difference of opinion as to the interpretation of this
verse. Most Commentators are agreed that the pronoun "him" in the second line
("will not help him") refers to the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH), and that the
"any" in the first line refers to his enemies, who wished to see him destroyed
and removed from the scene of his labours, Ibn 'Abbas, whom I have followed
here, and whom a great number of Commentators follow, construes the later
clauses in the sense given in the text. Freely paraphrased, it means: if the
enemies of Allah's Messenger [SAWW](PBUH) are enraged at his successes, let them
fix a rope to their ceiling and hang themselves. Sama is thus rendered by the
word "ceiling". If Sama'' is rendered by the word "heaven" (the usual meaning),
the paraphrase would be: if the enemies of Allah's Messenger [SAWW](PBUH) are
enraged at the help he gets from heavens, let them stretch a rope to heaven and
see if they can cut off the help that way!-in other words, they are fools if
they think they can intercept Allah's help by their petty devices! 16. Thus have
We sent down Clear Sings; and verily Allah doth guide whom He will! Instead
of plotting against Allah's Messenger, [SAWW](PBUH) the Unbelievers should
observe the Clear Signs which he has brought and obey and follow the
Guidance which comes from Allah according to the Laws which He has fixed
by His Holy Will and Plan.
