Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Thy Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth) as He wills (and chooseth) from His created beings those upon whom He bestows prophethood, i.e. Muhammad (pbuh). (They) the people of Mecca (have never any choice. Glorified be Allah) Allah sanctifies Himself (and exalted) and exonerates Himself (above all that they associate (with Him)) of idols!
