Al-Infitar Verse 6

O humanity! What has emboldened you against your Lord, the Most Generous,

O mankind, what has lured you away from your Lord, the Most Generous,

O Man! What deceived thee as to thy generous Lord

Mankind, what has lured you away from God,

O man! what hath beguiled thee concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?-

O man! What has deceived you about your generous Lord

O man, what seduced you from your munificent Lord

O man! What has deceived you away from your Lord, the Most Beneficent?

O man! What has deceived you about your generous Lord,

O human! What is it that deludes you concerning your Lord, the All-Munificent?

O (ungrateful) human being! what has enticed you away from your Lord, the Honoured One,

You, you the human/mankind, what has deceived/tempted you with (from) your Lord, the honoured/generous

O man! What has deceived you away from your Lord, the Most Beneficent?

O man! What has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one

O man! What has made you careless concerning your Lord, the Most Generous?

Who created thee, then made thee complete, then made thee in a right good state --

O man! What deluded you concerning your Lord, the Most Generous?

O, disbelieving, man! What has deceived you with regard to your generous Lord?, so that you have disobeyed Him,

O man!

What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?

This is a threat. It is not an attempt to get a reply as some people mistakenly think. They consider it as if the Most Generous is asking them so that they will say,

"His honor deceived him (or made him careless of his Lord)."

rather the meaning of this Ayah is,

"O Son of Adam!

What has deceived you from your Lord, the Most Generous -- meaning the Most Great -- so that you went forth disobeying Him, and you met Him with that which was unbefitting."

This is similar to what has been reported in the Hadith,

يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

يَا ابْنَ ادَمَ مَا غَرَّكَ بِي

يَا ابْنَ ادَمَ مَاذَا أَجَبْتَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Allah will say on the Day of Judgement;

"O Son of Adam!

What has deceived you concerning Me?

O Son of Adam!

What was your response to the Messengers?"

Al-Baghawi mentioned that Al-Kalbi and Muqatil said,

"This Ayah was revealed about Al-Aswad bin Shariq who struck the Prophet and he was not punished in retaliation. So Allah revealed,

مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ
(What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?)"

Then Allah said,

الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

O man! what has enticed you to be audacious and disloyal to Allah, your Creator, the. Most Beneficent
