The Table Spread of Food · Verse 67 of 120
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
Abdul Mannan Omar
O Messenger! convey (to the people the entire message) well that has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, you have not (at all) conveyed His message as it ought to have been. And Allâh will protect you from all (the onslaughts of) people (on your life). Verily, Allâh will not let the disbelieving people have their way.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali
O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.
Ahmed Ali
Some among them are moderate, but evil is what most of them do! O Prophet, announce what has reached you from your Lord, for if you do not, you will not have delivered His message. God will preserve you from (the mischief of) men; for God does not guide those who do not believe.

For, if you do not, you have not conveyed His Message and fulfilled the task of His Messengership. And God will certainly protect you from the people. God will surely not guide the disbelieving people (to attain their goal of harming or defeating you).

Commentary 5:67 Ya‘simu-kaيَعْصِمُكَ - “He will protect you” is derived from ‘asma, which means to protect, hinder, defend, save from evil, or protect from sin (Tâj,…
وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ
5:67 Ya‘simu-kaيَعْصِمُكَ - “He will protect you” is derived from ‘asma, which means to protect, hinder, defend, save from evil, or protect from sin (Tâj, Lisân). Commenting on this verse Imâm Râghib writes that the ‘ismat عِصمت or protection of the Prophet is given to him by Allâh in the first place by characterising him with purity of essence; by creating him with a pure nature free from any sin, and by protecting him from evil and sinful deeds. Thus with these words, Allâh grants the Holy Prophet (pbuh) physical protection as well as spiritual excellence. This verse is to bring tranquillity to the Holy Prophet (pbuh). Al-Alûsî also gives a similar explanation in Rûh al-Ma‘âni.
“Allâh will protect you from all the onslaughts of people on your life” is a great prophecy. In Makkah, the Holy Prophets enemies were the Quraish. His Hijrah to Madînah multiplied the numbers on his enemies. In Madînah, most of the Quraish, Jews, Christians, and the other tribes of Arabia, the hypocrites, and the kingdoms of Persia and Byzantine were all hostile towards him. In this critical situation, this promise is given that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) will remain under Divine protection against the many dangers that threaten his life. The reality of this promise can be judged from the fact that three of the four caliphs that followed him, ‘Umar (rz), ‘Uthmân (rz) and ‘Alî (rz, were killed, although they had by that time acquired greater political power. The verse also refutes the opinion of some people that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was afraid of Abû Bakr(rz), his father-in-law and the first caliph. Abû Bakr(rz) was known as a soft-hearted person and a sincere friend of the Holy Prophet. He had no reason to be afraid of Abû Bakr(rz). Besides, the promise of protection from All-Mighty Allâh removes the fear of another human being.
