Al-Ahzaab • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَدَعْ أَذَىٰهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًۭا ﴾
“and defer not to [the likes and dislikes of] the deniers of the truth and the hypocrites, and disregard their hurtful talk, and place thy trust in God: for none is as worthy of trust as God.”
Allah then went back to the subject of the beginning of the surah, saying: (And incline not) O Muhammad (to the disbelievers) of Mecca: Abu Sufyan and his host (and the hypocrites) of Medina. (Disregard their noxious talk) and do not proceed to kill them, O Muhammad, (and put thy trust in Allah) rely on Allah. (Allah is sufficient as Trustee) He is sufficient to fulfil His promise to give you victory; it is also said that this means: He is sufficient as a Protector.
