Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(They make it favour unto thee) Muhammad (that they have surrendered (unto Him)) this is their claim: “O Messenger of Allah, feed us and be generous to us, for we have become Muslim”. (Say) to them, O Muhammad: (Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me; nay, but Allah doth confer a favour on you, inasmuch as He hath led you) that He has called you (to the Faith) to accept the Faith, (if ye are earnest) in your claim that you are true believers; but you are not.
