وَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنتَ فِيهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

Wama kana Allahu liyuAAaththibahum waanta feehim wama kana Allahu muAAaththibahum wahum yastaghfiroona

The Aya says:
And Allah was not to torture them while you (Muhammad) are amongst them, and Allah was not torturing them while they are asking forgiveness/ protective cover.

My personal note:
This Aya brings about an important message to humanity that as long as they have pious people amongst them and as long as they pray for forgiveness and protection from Allah then they are protected from overwhelming forms of suffering that lead to total destruction.

وَإِذْ قَالُواْ اللَّهُمَّ إِن كَانَ هَـذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِندِكَ فَأَمْطِرْ عَلَيْنَا حِجَارَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاء أَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Waith qaloo allahumma in kana hatha huwa alhaqqa min AAindika faamtir AAalayna hijaratan mina alssamai awi itina biAAathabin aleemin

The Aya says:
And as they said: “Oh Allah if this is the truth from you then rain down on us rocks/ stones from the sky or bring us painful suffering”

My personal note:
Here they continue with the challenges to the message by asking what they cannot deal with once it comes. It points to their arrogance mixed with their ignorance.

Translation of the transliterated words:

AAalayna: upon us
Hijaratan: stones/ rocks
Note: Hajar means stone or rock. The root is HA-J-R and it means to prevent/to make barrier, probably because stones make a good barrier.

HIJARATAN means the rocks or stones.

Mina: from
Alssamai: the sky

Waitha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna qaloo qad samiAAna law nashao laqulna mithla hatha in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena

The Aya says:
And when our signs are recited upon them they said: “We heard. Had we willed we would have said similar to it. This is nothing but legends of the ancients.”

My personal note:
The Aya brings about a potential answer of many people who reject the message and it still sounds the same to this day.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waitha: and when/ and if and when
Tutla: are recited/ are followed closely
Note: the root is T-L-W and it means following closely. The concrete word that is derived from the root is the baby animal after it had been weaned from the breast and who follows his mother everywhere closely. The word means the following closely and also reciting, because that involves following each word with another. TUTLA is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of reciting or following closely the object (AYATUNA= our signs) is happening or will be happening by an undeclared subject.

Conceptually it takes several meanings related to the above two concrete meanings. ASATEER are the myths of the ancients and it relates to the above because they arranged the stories in neat lines one after the other, either in writing or in reciting.
Alawwaleena: the earlier ones/ the first ones/ the ancient ones
Note: AWWAL is derived from the root Hamza-W-L and it means ultimate as a concept and takes different shapes and specific meanings according to the situation including first and so on.

وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللّهُ وَاللّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ

Waith yamkuru bika allatheena kafaroo liyuthbitooka aw yaqtulooka aw yukhrijooka wayamkuroona wayamkuru Allahu waAllahu khayru almakireena

The Aya says:
And as they scheme against you (singular) those who rejected in order that they pin you down or kill you or kick you out. And they scheme, while Allah plans and Allah is the best of planners.

My personal note:
The term yuthbitooka is often used in a positive sense to mean to make you well entrenched. However, here within this context, it carries the limiting of movement and maneuverability and therefore a negative connotation very much like when someone is wrestling and then pinned down in a position but the opponent.

The Aya Also also brings about that Allah will always counter the negative plan of the rejecters against His people and message with His own far superior plan of the bigger picture. In a sense He reassures those who follow his path that they are safe within a much bigger plan that is positive for the bigger issues at hand.
