“E hicimos que os extraviarais porque nosotros mismos nos habíamos extraviado”.
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
اور (یہ درست ہے کہ) ہم نے تم کو گمراہ کیا تھا کیونکہ ہم خود بھی گمراہ تھے۔
English - Short Commentary Translation
‘And we caused you to go astray for we ourselves had gone astray.’
The leaders of disbelief will say to their followers: 'You yourselves chose to follow us, and since we ourselves had gone astray, you could expect nothing better from us.' It was a case of blind leading the blind.
English - Five Volume Translation
And we caused you to go astray for we ourselves had gone astray.’
Commentary:
In vv. 30, 31 above the leaders of disbelief had refused to plead guilty to the charge that they had led their followers astray by saying that they had no power or authority over them; in the verse under comment they plead guilty to the charge of misleading them. The seeming contradiction is, in reality, no contradiction. The verse means to say that leaders of disbelief will say to their followers: "You yourselves chose to follow us, and since we ourselves had gone astray, you could expect nothing better from us. It was a case of blind leading the blind."
