The Holy Quran 28:86 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

وَمَا كُنتَ تَرْجُوٓا۟ أَن يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ ظَهِيرًا لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Translation

(O Rasulullaah ﷺ! Before being commanded to preach to people as a Nabi) You never expected that the Book (the Qur'aan) would be given to you, but it is only by the mercy of your Rabb (that He has chosen you to be His Rasool and revealed the Qur'aan to you). So (because you have been granted this noble status, you should) never be an accomplice to the Kaafiroon (by doing as they say because this does not befit your high standing).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وما كنت -أيها الرسول- تؤمِّل نزول القرآن عليك، لكن الله سبحانه وتعالى رحمك فأنزله عليك، فاشكر لله تعالى على نِعَمه، ولا تكوننَّ عونًا لأهل الشرك والضلال.
