42:7
وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهُ حَفِيظٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And as for those who take for themselves protectors beside Him, Allah watches over them; and thou art not a guardian over them.
English - Five Volume Translation
And as for those who take for themselves protectors beside Him–Allah watches over them; [b]and thou art not a guardian over them.[3606]
6:108; 88:23.
Commentary:
The particle علی (over) being generally used in the sense of "against," the meaning of the expression الله حفیظ علیم would be that God is watching over the blasphemous beliefs of men and is keeping an account of them and will punish them if they did not repent.
