Al-Kahf • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُۥ فِئَةٌۭ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنتَصِرًا ﴾
“-for now he had nought to succour him in God's stead, nor could he succour himself.”
(And he had no troop of men to help him as against Allah) i.e. against Allah's punishment, (nor could he save himself) from Allah's punishment.
