Transliteration:( Wa laaa ana 'abidum maa 'abattum )
5. It means that even in my future days of life I will never indulge in polytheism. A person goes astray through four ways:
(1) Due to unawareness of the true religion. the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم was fully aware of it at birth.
2) Due to the misguidance of the baser self (Nafs e Ammarah) the Holy Prophet had no baser self.
3) Due to the misguidance of the devil the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم was protected from the devil.
4) Due to evil company others are benefiting from the total company of the Holy Prophet because he is deeply hued in the colours of Allah Almighty. Hence, there is no question of misguidance here at all. From this emerge a few issues:
1. In worldly matters a person can adopt leniency, but in matters of religion he must be very strict, so that the infidels should become despondent (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan).
2.The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم was fully aware of his future that he would never indulge in infidelity, polytheism and transgression.
3. A believer should make the infidels despondent of him.
