Transliteration:( Fasbir lihukmi Rabbika wa laa tuti' minhum aasiman aw kafooraa )
36. And continue to bear the hard work of propagation. And bear with patience the hardships sent from Allah Almighty. Or, be firm in the application of the laws of Islam. In short it is not necessary for this verse to be Makkan.
37. Reason for its Revelation:
Some scholars have said that once Waleed bin Mugheerah and Utbah bin Rabeeah presented themselves before the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم Utah said if you stop the propagation of Islam, I will give the hand of my daughter in marriage to you, without any dowry. Waleed said that I will give you so much wealth that you will be pleased with it. In response to it, this verse was revealed (Tafseer Khazainul Irfaan). On the basis of it, this verse is Makkan.
