Indeed there is for you a good example in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: We are clear of you and of that which you serve besides Allah. We disbelieve in you and there has arisen enmity and hatred between us and you forever until you believe in Allah alone -- except Abraham’s saying to his sire: I would ask forgiveness for thee, and I control naught for thee from Allah. Our Lord, on Thee do we rely, and to Thee do we turn, and to Thee is the eventual coming.

Our Lord, do not make us a cause of beguilement for those who disbelieve, that is to say, do not make them prevail over us, lest they think that they are following the truth and are beguiled as a result, in other words, [lest] they lose their reason because of us; and forgive us. Our Lord, You are indeed the Mighty, the Wise', in Your kingdom and Your actions.

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا

Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the disbelievers,

Mujahid said,

"It means, `Do not punish us by their hands, nor with a punishment from You.' Or they will say, `Had these people been following the truth, the torment would not have struck them'."

Ad-Dahhak said something similar.

Qatadah said,

"Do not give the disbelievers victory over us, thus subjecting us to trials by their hands. Surely, if You do so, they would then think that they were given victory over us because they are on the truth."

This is the meaning that Ibn Jarir preferred.

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas;

"Do not give them dominance over us, lest we suffer trials by their hands."

Allah's statement,

وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَا

إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ



and forgive us, Our Lord! Verily, You, only You, are the Almighty, the All-Wise.

means, `cover our mistakes from being exposed to other than You, and forgive us for what (sin) is between us and You.'

أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ
(Verily, You, only You, are the Almighty), `and those who seek refuge in Your majesty are never dealt with unjustly,'
الْحَكِيمُ
(the All-Wise), `in Your statements, actions, legislation and decrees.'

Allah the Exalted said
