Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

How the Prophet would have been punished if He had given in at all to the Disbelievers' Demands that He change some of the RevelationAllah tells us how He supported His Prophet and protected him and kept him safe from the evil plots of the wicked transgressors. Allah is the One Who took care of him and helped him, and would not leave him to any of His creation.
