Transliteration:( Maa sami'naa bihaazaa fil millatil aakhirati in haazaaa illakh tilaaq )
11. The Christians, though being from the People of the Scripture believed in the trinity of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spriti. If Tauheed (Oneness of Allah Almighty) was beneficial, then why did the People of the Scripture not acknowledge it?
12. The proof of which was not even found in the previous heavenly books. This tells us that the devil misleads in many ways.

The tafsir of Surah Sad verse 7 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Sad ayat 4 which provides the complete commentary from verse 4 through 11.
9. That is, there have been our own elderly people in the recent past. There are Christians and Jews also living in our land and in the adjoining lands; and there are the Zoroastrians abounding in Iran and Iraq and eastern Arabia. None of them has ever preached that man should only believe in One Allah, Lord of the worlds, and in none else beside Him. No one can remain content with One God only. Everyone believes in the beloved ones of Allah also. They are All paying obeisance to them, making offerings at their shrines and praying for fulfillment of their needs and requirements. From one place people get children and from another provisions of life, and from yet another whatever they pray for. The whole world believes in their powers and capabilities, and those who have benefited from them tell how the needs of the people are being met and their difficulties being removed through their help and grace. Now this man is telling us a queer thing which we had never heard before. He says that none of these holy men has any share in Godhead and that Godhead wholly belongs only to Allah.
