(Say: O mankind!) O people of Mecca! (Now hath the Truth) the Scripture and Messenger (from your Lord come unto you. So whosoever is guided) by the Scripture and Messenger, (is guided only for (the good of) his soul) i. e. its reward goes to him, (and whosoever erreth) and whoever disbelieves in the Scripture and Messenger (erreth only against it) i. e. the onus of his disbelief goes to him. (And I am not a warder) a trustee (over you). This was abrogated by the verse of fighting.
- 10:108108
قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۖ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِوَكِيلٍ
Say thou: O mankind! the truth hath surely come unto you from your Lord: whosoever then is guided, is guided only for himself, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only against himself; and am not over you a trustee.
