What blame will there be on you if he is not purified of his sins by not repenting to Allah?
although you are not to be blamed if he does not purify himself4.
[4] The Prophets are only responsible to convey the message, not for people’s guidance.
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief: you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allâh).
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
And in no way is it up to you (if) he should not (try to) cleanse himself.
