Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(But if they strive with thee to make thee) if they want or command you to (ascribe unto Me as partner that of which thou hast no knowledge) that it is My partner while you know that it is not My partner, (then obey them not) regarding idolatry. (Consort with them in the world kindly) with kindness and beneficence, (and follow the path of him who repenteth unto Me) the religion of him who betakes himself to Me and obeys me, i.e. Muhammad (pbuh). (Then unto Me will be your return) and the return of your parents, (and I shall tell you what ye used to do) of good or evil.
