Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom?

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Say: "See ye?- If Allah were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows His Mercy on us,- yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?"

Context · verses 28–30

In Him we trust — and who would bring you water?. Whether Allah destroys or shows mercy to the Prophet and his companions, no one can protect the disbelievers; the believers trust the Most Merciful; and if the water sank away, none but Allah could bring it back. Read the explanation.

تفسير ابن كثير — Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr (Arabic)

يقول تعالى : ( قل ) يا محمد لهؤلاء المشركين بالله الجاحدين لنعمه : ( أرأيتم إن أهلكني الله ومن معي أو رحمنا فمن يجير الكافرين من عذاب أليم ) أي : خلصوا أنفسكم ، فإنه لا منقذ لكم من الله إلا التوبة والإنابة ، والرجوع إلى دينه ، ولا ينفعكم وقوع ما تتمنون لنا من العذاب والنكال ، فسواء عذبنا الله أو رحمنا ، فلا مناص لكم من نكاله وعذابه الأليم الواقع بكم .
