سورة النحل، الآية ٨٢
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٨٢
fa-in tawallaw fa-innamā ʿalayka l-balāghu l-mubīnu
But if they turn away, [O Muḥammad] - then only upon you is [responsibility for] clear notification.
Verse 82 of Surah An-Nahl (16:82), a Meccan surah, is in juz 14, on page 276 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
If they turn away from faith and acceptance of what you have brought, then your duty, O Messenger, is only to convey what you have been instructed to in a clear manner. It is not your duty to make them accept guidance.
But if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the message clearly.
Then, if they turn away, your duty (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) is only to convey (the Message) in a clear way.
Then, if they turn away, thy duty (O Muhammad) is but plain conveyance (of the message).
But if they turn away, thy duty is only to preach the clear Message.
But if they turn back, then on you devolves only the clear deliverance (of the message).
So, in case they turn away, then surely you have only (to deliver) the evident proclamation.
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
فَإِنْ حَآجُّوكَ فَقُلْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِىَ لِلَّهِ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِ وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ ءَأَسْلَمْتُمْ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمُوا۟ فَقَدِ ٱهْتَدَوا۟ وَّإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَٰغُ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرٌۢ بِٱلْعِبَادِ
So if they argue with you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allāh [in Islām], and [so have] those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture and [to] the unlearned, "Have you submitted yourselves?" And if they submit [in Islām], they are rightly guided; but if they turn away - then upon you is only the [duty of] notification. And Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants.
