Verš 4:78

Ať kdekoliv budete, smrt vás zastihne, i kdybyste byli ve věžích opevněných. Stane-li se těmto lidem něco dobrého, říkají: „Tohle je od Boha“, však postihne-li je co zlého, tu říkají: „Tohle je od tebe, proroku!“ Rci: „Všechno od Boha přichází!“ A co je těmto lidem, že málem nemohou pochopit to, co se jim říká?

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, though you should be in raised-up, lofty, towers’, forts, so do not shrink from fighting for fear of death. And if a good thing, such as fertility and abundance, befalls them, the Jews, they say, ‘This is from God’; but if an evil thing, such as drought or misfortune, befalls them, as it did with them when the Prophet (s) arrived in Medina, they say, ‘This is from you’, O Muhammad (s), that is, from the bad luck [you bring]. Say, to them: ‘Everything, good and evil, is from God.’ What is wrong with this people that they do not understand, that is, they do not come close to comprehending, any words, delivered to them (the mā, ‘what’ [of mā li-hā’ūlā’, ‘what is wrong with these’] is an interrogative intended to provoke amazement at their extreme ignorance; to state that one cannot even come close to doing something is [rhetorically] more intense than saying that he cannot do it).
