Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah is Sufficient for His Servant Allah saysأَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ(Is not Allah Sufficient for His servant) Some of them read it "His servants." It means that Allah is Sufficient for the one who worships Him and relies upon Him.وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِالَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ(Yet they try to frighten you with those besides Him!) means, the idolators tried to scare the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with their idols and gods which they called upon besides Allah out of ignorance and misguidance.
