Commentary on 4:168–169
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿إنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وظَلَمُوا﴾ قالَ مُقاتِلٌ وغَيْرُهُ: هُمُ اليَهُودُ أيْضًا كَفَرُوا بِمُحَمَّدٍ والقُرْآنِ. وفي الظُّلْمِ المَذْكُورِ هاهُنا قَوْلانِ.
أحَدُهُما: أنَّهُ الشِّرْكُ، قالَهُ مُقاتِلٌ. والثّانِي: أنَّهُ جَحْدُهم صِفَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ في كِتابِهِمْ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ﴾ يُرِيدُ مَن ماتَ مِنهم عَلى الكُفْرِ. وقالَ أبُو سُلَيْمانَ: لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ لِيَسْتُرَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَبِيحَ فِعالِهِمْ، بَلْ يَفْضَحُهم في الدُّنْيا، ويُعاقِبُهم بِالقَتْلِ والجَلاءِ والسَّبْيِ، وفي الآخِرَةِ بِالنّارِ ﴿وَلا لِيَهْدِيَهم طَرِيقًا﴾ يَنْجُونَ فِيهِ.
وَقالَ مُقاتِلٌ: طَرِيقًا إلى الهُدى ﴿وَكانَ ذَلِكَ عَلى اللَّهِ يَسِيرًا﴾ يَعْنِي: كانَ عَذابُهم عَلى اللَّهِ هَيِّنًا.

4:163
۞ إِنَّآ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ كَمَآ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ نُوحٖ وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۚ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ وَٱلۡأَسۡبَاطِ وَعِيسَىٰ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ وَهَٰرُونَ وَسُلَيۡمَٰنَۚ وَءَاتَيۡنَا دَاوُۥدَ زَبُورٗا ١٦٣
Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants,1 Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon; and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].

4:164
وَرُسُلٗا قَدۡ قَصَصۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَيۡكَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَرُسُلٗا لَّمۡ نَقۡصُصۡهُمۡ عَلَيۡكَۚ وَكَلَّمَ ٱللَّهُ مُوسَىٰ تَكۡلِيمٗا ١٦٤
And [We sent] messengers about whom We have related [their stories] to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you. And Allāh spoke to Moses with [direct] speech.
4:165
رُّسُلٗا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ حُجَّةُۢ بَعۡدَ ٱلرُّسُلِۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمٗا ١٦٥
[We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allāh after the messengers. And ever is Allāh Exalted in Might and Wise.
4:166
لَّٰكِنِ ٱللَّهُ يَشۡهَدُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ إِلَيۡكَۖ أَنزَلَهُۥ بِعِلۡمِهِۦۖ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَشۡهَدُونَۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًا ١٦٦
But Allāh bears witness to that which He has revealed to you. He has sent it down with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness [as well]. And sufficient is Allāh as Witness.
4:167
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدًا ١٦٧
Indeed, those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allāh have certainly gone far astray.
4:168
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَظَلَمُواْ لَمۡ يَكُنِ ٱللَّهُ لِيَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا لِيَهۡدِيَهُمۡ طَرِيقًا ١٦٨
Indeed, those who disbelieve and commit wrong [or injustice] - never will Allāh forgive them, nor will He guide them to a path,
4:169
إِلَّا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٗا ١٦٩
Except the path of Hell; they will abide therein forever. And that, for Allāh, is [always] easy.
4:170
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡ فَـَٔامِنُواْ خَيۡرٗا لَّكُمۡۚ وَإِن تَكۡفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا ١٧٠
O mankind, the Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe; it is better for you. But if you disbelieve - then indeed, to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. And ever is Allāh Knowing and Wise.
