Aal-i-Imraan • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَمَكَرُوا۟ وَمَكَرَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلْمَٰكِرِينَ ﴾
“And the unbelievers schemed [against Jesus]; but God brought their scheming to nought: for God is above all schemers.”
(And they schemed) they, i.e. the Jews, planned to kill Jesus, (and Allah schemed (against them)) Allah wished to kill their man Tatianos: (and Allah is the best of schemers) the strongest of those who have a will; it is also said this means: the best of Makers.
