Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Comforting the Messenger of Allah ﷺAllah said to His Prophet,وَلاَ يَحْزُنكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَـرِعُونَ فِى الْكُفْرِ(And let not those grieve you who rush with haste to disbelieve) 3:176.Because the Prophet was eager for people's benefit, he would become sad when the disbelievers would resort to defiance, rebellion and stubbornness.
