۞ قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَٰشُعَيْبُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَا ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَٰرِهِينَ

اس کی قوم کے سرداروں نے، جو اپنی بڑائی کے گھمنڈ میں مبتلا تھے، ا س سے کہا کہ "اے شعیبؑ، ہم تجھے اور اُن لوگوں کو جو تیرے ساتھ ایمان لائے ہیں اپنی بستی سے نکال دیں گے ورنہ تم لوگوں کو ہماری ملت میں واپس آنا ہوگا" شعیبؑ نے جواب دیا "کیا زبردستی ہمیں پھیرا جائے گا خواہ ہم راضی نہ ہوں؟
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Pemuka-pemuka dan kaum Syu'aib yang menyombongkan dan berkata: "Sesungguhnya kami akan mengusir kamu hai Syu'aib dan orang-orang yang beriman bersamamu dari kota kami, atau kamu kembali kepada agama kami". Berkata Syu'aib: "Dan apakah (kamu akan mengusir kami), kendatipun kami tidak menyukainya?"
Ibn Kathir
Allah describes the way the disbelievers answered His ProphetShu` ayb and those who believed in him, by threatening them withexpulsion from their village, or with forceful reversion to thedisbeliever's religion.
The chiefs spoke the words mentioned here to the Messenger Shu`ayb, but intended it for those who followed his religion too. The statement,
أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَـرِهِينَ
("Even though we hate it"), means, would you force us to do that, even though we hate what you are calling us to Certainly if we revert to your religion and accept your ways, we will have uttered a tremendous lie against Allah by calling partners as rivals to Him,
وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلاَ أَن يَشَآءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا
(And it is not for us to return to it unless Allah, our Lord, should will.) This part of the Ayah refers all matters to Allah's will, and certainly, He has perfect knowledge of all matters and His observation encompasses all things,
عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا
(In Allah (Alone) we put our trust. ), concerning all our affairs, what we practice of them and what we ignore,
رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ
(Our Lord! Judge between us and our people in truth) judge between us and our people and give us victory over them,
وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْفَـتِحِينَ
(for You are the best of those who give judgment) and You are the Most Just Who never wrongs any in His judgment.

قال السادة والكبراء من قوم شعيب الذين تكبروا عن الإيمان بالله واتباع رسوله شعيب عليه السلام: لنخرجنك يا شعيب ومَن معك من المؤمنين من ديارنا، إلا إذا صرتم إلى ديننا، قال شُعيب منكرًا ومتعجبًا من قولهم: أنتابعكم على دينكم ومِلَّتكم الباطلة، ولو كنا كارهين لها لعِلْمِنا ببطلانها؟
