سُوْرَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ
Surah Muhammad (47) — Ayah 32
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَشَآقُّوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَن يَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًٔا وَسَيُحْبِطُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ﴿32﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily, those who disbelieve, and hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh (i.e. Islâm), and oppose the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) (by standing against him and hurting him), after the guidance has been clearly shown to them, they will not harm Allâh in the least, but He will make their deeds fruitless,

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.
(Ayah 32){ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ … :} That is, the hypocrites and the Jews who have come to know that you (ﷺ) are indeed the Messenger of Allah, and they also know that glad tidings of you (ﷺ) are present in the previous scriptures, yet due to stubbornness and hostility, they opposed you. They cannot harm Allah in any way, nor can they harm the Messenger of Allah or the servants of Allah. Rather, they are causing harm only to those deedsselves, because the good deeds they think they are doing, Allah Almighty will destroy those deeds, and the conspiracies and plans they devise to harm the Muslims and to prevent people from Allah’s religion, Allah Almighty will make those deeds fail. See also the commentary of {’’ اَضَلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ‘‘} in the first verse of this Surah.
