Let them not grieve you (read yuhzinka, or yahzunka from [1st form] hazanahu, 'he made him grieve', an alternative expression to [4th form] ahzanahu, 'he made him grieve') those that vie with one another in unbelief, succumbing to it promptly by supporting it, namely, the Meccans or the hypocrites: in other words, do not be concerned for their unbelief; they will not hurt Allahu ta’ālā at all, by their actions, only hurting themselves. Allahu ta’ālā desires not to assign them any portion, any lot, in the Hereafter, that is, in Paradise, and that is why Allahu ta’ālā forsook them; and theirs is a mighty chastisement, in the Fire.
