Transliteration:( Wa law laa fadlul laahi 'alaika wa rahmatuhoo lahammat taaa'ifatum minhum ai yudillooka wa maa yudilloona illaaa anfusahum wa maa yadurroonaka min shai'; wa anzalal laahu 'alaikal Kitaaba wal Hikmata wa 'allamaka maa lam takun ta'lam; wa kaana fadlul laahi 'alaika 'azeemaa )
347. By this is meant if Allah Almighty had not portrayed you as an innocent being, and had He not made all types of knowledge apparent to you then these people who have misled you i.e. they would have deceived you into making a wrong decission.
348. From this we know that Allah Almighty protects the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم therefore none can mislead him. The same is said regarding the Noble Companions in the following verse: "And they mislead none but themselves and they perceive not..." (S3:V69)Â
Thus, find that the Holy Prophet's صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم splendid illumination had been cast upon his Noble Companions making their faith unshakable. Allah Almighty has made the Holy Prophet totally innocent and blameless, and neither will they harm the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم in any way by taking the correct decision in all worldly matters, as Allah Almighty is his Helper. Says Allah Almighty: "And Allah will guard you from people." (S5:V67)
349. From this, we learn that both the Holy QURAN and the Hadith are from Allah Almighty. The words and message of the QURAN are from Allah Almighty, while only the subject of the Hadith is from Allah Almighty, but the words are that of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.
350.From "He has taught you" we learn that nobody can mislead the Holy Prophet because only he can be deceived who is without knowledge. However, judgement is passed on the strength of the testimony, even though the testimony might be false, and there is no proof to declare it false.
Furthermore, we also learn that Allah Almighty has blessed His Beloved Prophet with all type of knowledge of the unseen.
351.Allah Almighty has called the entire world as scanty: "Say you, the enjoyment of the world is little!" (S4:V77) but here. He states that Allah Almighty has blessed you with a great bounty. From this we learn that the entire world is but one small portion of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم dominion otherwise how would it signify a great bounty!

The tafsir of Surah Nisa verse 113 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nisa ayat 110 which provides the complete commentary from verse 110 through 115.
(4:113) (O Messenger!) But for Allah’s favour and mercy upon you, a party of them had resolved to mislead you,yet they only misled them selves, and could not have harmed you in any way.[142] Allah revealed to you the Book and Wisdom, and He taught you what you knew not. Great indeed has been Allah’s favour upon you.
142. Even if some people succeeded in their design to obtain from the Prophet (peace be on him) a wrong judgement in their favour by presenting a false account of events, the real loss would have been theirs rather than the Prophet’s (peace be on him). For the real criminals in the sight of God are the perpetrators of that fraud and not the Prophet (peace be on him) who might in good faith have delivered a verdict that actually did not conform to the facts. Whoever obtains a judgement in his favour by tricking the courts deludes himself into believing that by such tricks he can bring right to his side; right remains with its true claimant regardless of judgements obtained by fraud and deception. See also (Surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 188) note 197.
