Notes

[34] i.e., Allah knows the complaint of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) about his people.

(And Allâh has the knowledge) of (Prophet Muhammad’s) saying: "O my Lord! Verily, these are a people who believe not!"

And he saith: O my Lord! Lo! these are a folk who believe not.

(Allah has knowledge) of the (Prophet's) cry, "O my Lord! Truly these are people who will not believe!"

Consider his cry: O my Lord! surely they are a people who do not believe.

And for his (i.e., Allah knows best prophet's saying) oration, "O Lord! Surely these are people who do not believe."
