Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (save single minded slaves of allah) save the slaves of allah who are sincere in their profession of allah's divine oneness and in their worship: these slaves do not invent lies about allah; it is also said that this verse should be understood as follows: those who claim that there is a kinship between allah and the angels will be tormented and none of them will escape this torment except the sincere slaves of allah who are protected from disbelief, idolatry and indecencies.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : — [all] except god’s devoted servants, namely, believers (the exceptive clause here is discontinuous) in other words, [that is] because they declare that god transcends what such individuals attribute [to him].
