Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (if ye were to obey a mortal) a human being (like yourselves, ye surely would be losers) you would be ignorant and losers.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and, by god, if you obey a human being like yourselves (this [clause] contains both an oath and a conditional; the response belongs to the former [the oath], which [at the same time] suffices in place of a response for the latter [the conditional]) you will surely then, that is, should you obey them, be losers, you will have been duped.
