سُوْرَةُ الإِسۡرَاءِ
Surah Al-Israa (17) — Ayah 41
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا۟ وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا نُفُورًا ﴿41﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And surely, We have explained [Our Promises, Warnings and (set forth many) examples] in this Qur’ân that they (the disbelievers) may take heed, but it increases them in naught save aversion.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
The meaning of (Ayah 41){ وَ لَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ … : ’’ نُفُوْرًا ‘‘} is aversion, shying away, running far. The purpose of explaining in various ways in this Quran is that every necessary matter has been repeated and presented in different manners again and again, so that these people may take heed. But admonition is only effective when listened to, whereas the more effort is made to make them listen, the more they run away, they do not want to listen at all, so how will they accept?
