Ayah: 67

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بَلِّغۡ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ وَإِن لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلۡ فَمَا بَلَّغۡتَ رِسَالَتَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡصِمُكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

(67) O Messenger, convey what came down to you from your Lord ˹fully˺^[1221], but if you do not do ˹that˺, then you would have failed to deliver His Message; Allah will ˹certainly˺ shield you from people—surely Allah does not guide the Denying people^[1222].

[1221] The Prophet (ﷺ) is urged to deliver the Message in full without holding any of it back out of fear of people or other worldly considerations (cf. Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī). ʿĀ’ishah (i) said: “Whoever tells you that Muhammad (ﷺ) held back any part of what came down to him, then he surely lies ˹to you˺. ˹How so when˺ Allah says: “O Messenger, deliver what came down to you from your Lord ˹fully˺…” (al-Bukhārī: 4612).
[1222] “Truly those for whom the Word of your Lord has come due will not Believe,*even if every Sign were to come to them—until they see the painful Punishment” (10: 96-97).
