Tafsir of verse 41
Al-Mukhtasar
If they reject you O Messenger, then you will be rewarded for what you do, and your actions are your responsibility; and that they will be repaid for what they do, and they will have to deal with the consequences of their actions. They will not be responsible for what happens to you, and you are free from what happens to them.
If they reject you, then say, “My deeds are mine and your deeds are yours38. You are not responsible for what I do, nor am I responsible for what you do.”
Notes
[38] When argument is of no great use, there is no need for further debate.
And if they belie you, say: "For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!"
And if they deny thee, say: Unto me my work, and unto you your work. Ye are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what ye do.
If they charge thee with falsehood, say: "My work to me, and yours to you! ye are free from responsibility for what I do, and I for what ye do!"
And if they call you a liar, say: My work is for me and your work for you; you are clear of what I do and I am clear of what you do.
And in case they cry lies to you, then say, "To me is my doing, and to you is your doing. You are quit of what I do, and I am quit of whatever you do."
