Yunus • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ فَٱلْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ ءَايَةًۭ ۚ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا لَغَٰفِلُونَ ﴾
“[Nay,] but today We shall save only thy body, so that thou mayest be a [warning] sign unto those who will come after thee: for, behold, a good many people are heedless of Our messages!"”
(But this day We save thee in your body) We save your cadaver in its armour (that thou mayst be a portent) that you may be a lesson, such that they do not claim what you claimed and know that you are not a god (for those after thee) among the disbelievers. (Lo! most of mankind) i.e. the disbelievers (are heedless of) are deniers of (Our portents) Our Scripture and Messenger.
