Transliteration:( Wa laa tahzan 'alaihim wa laa takun fee daiqin mimmaa yamkuroon )
"And grieve you not over them [135], and not be straitened on their plotting [136]."
From this we learn that one should not express sorrow at the punishment of the disbelievers, as they are the enemies of the believers. Just as one feels relieved at the killing of a harmful snake, so too should one rejoice at the downfall of those who oppose the truth.
This means: do not be saddened by the schemes of the disbelievers aimed at harming Islam and the Muslims. Their plans will never succeed, and Islam’s rise is inevitable.
This teaches us that the threat of disbelief is louder than its actual strength, and believers must remain firm, optimistic, and ready to resist without fear or despair.
The tafsir of Surah Naml verse 70 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Naml ayat 67 which provides the complete commentary from verse 67 through 70.
(27:70) (O Prophet), do not grieve over them, nor be distressed at their designs.[87]
87. That is, “You have done full justice to your mission of preaching. Now if they do not listen to you, and wish to persist in their folly and deserve the Divine torment, you should not consume yourself by being distressed and grieved at their condition. Then, why should you feel vexed at their mean machinations that they are devising in order to fight the truth and to frustrate your movement of return? You have Allah’s power at your back. If they do not listen to you, they will only be harming themselves, not you.”
