Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (say) o muhammad, to 'uthman: (obey allah) regarding the obligations (and obey the messenger) in his wont and judgement. (but if you turn away) but if they turn away from obeying both, (then (it is) for him (to do) only that wherewith he hath been charged) what he has been commanded to convey, (and for you (to do) only that wherewith you have been charged) what you have been commanded to respond. (if ye obey him) if you obey allah in that which he commands you, (ye will go aright) and avoid error. (but the messenger hath no other charge than to convey (the message) plainly) from allah.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : say: ‘obey god, and obey the messenger.’ but if you turn away, from obedience to him (tawallaw, ‘you turn away’: one of the two tā’ letters [in tatawallaw] has been omitted; an address to them), [know that] he is only responsible for that with which he has been charged, of conveying [the message], and you are responsible for that with which you have been charged, of obedience to him. and if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. and the messenger’s duty is only to convey [the message] clearly’.
