Hûd
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[11:91]
[But his people] said: "O Shu’ayb! We cannot grasp the purport of much of what thou sayest; on the other hand, behold, we do see clearly how weak thou art in our midst: and were it not for thy family, we would have most certainly stoned thee to death, considering that thou hast no power over us!"

* v.91 : Cf. 6:25. In the present instance, however, the self-confessed lack of understanding on the part of the people of Madyan may have a more subjective meaning, similar to the half-indignant, half-embarrassed retort, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
* Lit., “we regard thee indeed as a weak one among us” – i.e., without any appreciable tribal support.
