The Holy Quran 8:30 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ ۚ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلْمَـٰكِرِينَ

Translation

(O Muhammad ﷺ, Remember the time) When the Kuffaar schemed against you to imprison you, kill you or exile you (drive you out of Makkah). They plan and Allaah plans. Allaah is the best of planners (His plan always comes to pass regardless of what others may plan). (When the Kuffaar decided that a person from every tribe should participate in killing Rasulullaah ﷺ one night so that the blame cannot be pinned on a single person or tribe, Allaah informed Rasulullaah ﷺ about their plan and commanded him to leave Makkah for Madinah. This he did without the Mushrikeen causing him any harm.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

واذكر -أيها الرسول- حين يكيد لك مشركو قومك بـ «مكَّة» ; ليحبسوك أو يقتلوك أو ينفوك من بلدك. ويكيدون لك، وردَّ الله مكرهم عليهم جزاء لهم، ويمكر الله، والله خير الماكرين.
