'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (say) o muhammad: (lo! my lord enlargeth the provision for whom he will) as a lure to perdition (and narroweth it (for whom he will) out of care for him. (but most of mankind) the people of mecca (know not) this nor believe it.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : say: ‘truly my lord extends provision, he makes it abundant, for whomever he will, as a test, and restricts [it], for whomever he will, to try [them], but most people, such as the disbelievers of mecca, do not know’, this [truth].
