(Say) O Muhammad to Banu Harithah: (Who is he who can preserve you from Allah) from Allah's chastisement (if He intendeth harm for you) if He intends to punish you by killing you, (or intendeth mercy for you) or intends well-being for you by sparing you from being killed. (They will not find) i.e. Banu Harithah (that they have any friend or helper other than Allah) that they have anyone to spare them from or help them against Allah's chastisement.
