80:4
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And what makes thee know that he may be seeking to purify himself,
English - Five Volume Translation
And what makes thee know that he might be seeking to purify himself,[4572]
Commentary:
The pronoun "thee" has been taken as applying to the Holy Prophet and the pronoun "he" to the Quraish leader with whom the Holy Prophet was holding conversation. But "thee" may more appropriately be applied lo those carping critics who, being hypersensitive, would not relish the attitude of the Holy Prophet on that occasion which was the only right and correct attitude for him to adopt.
English - Short Commentary Translation
And what would make thee know that he would purify himself,[3251]
The pronoun "thee" in the verse may be applied, as is done in the text, to the Holy Prophet and the pronoun "he" to the Quraish leader.
