(113) وَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ اللّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لَهَمَّت طَّآئِفَةٌ مُّنْهُمْ أَن يُضِلُّوكَ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ
إِلاُّ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَضُرُّونَكَ مِن شَيْءٍ وَأَنزَلَ اللّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ
وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيمًا

113. " And had it not been Allah's grace on you and His Mercy, a party of them had certainly resolved to lead you astray, but they do not lead astray but their own selves, and they shall not harm you at all. And Allah has revealed to you the Book and the Wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know,and Allah's grace on you is ever great."
Commentary:
In some preceding verses (verse 105), a part of the event of the tribe called Bani-Abiraq was explained. Now, in this verse, another part of that event is refered to. The verse says:
" And had it not been Allah's grace on you and His Mercy, a party of them had certainly resolved to lead you astray,..."
By accusing an innocent person and then involving the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) in this event, they wanted both to defame the social and spiritual personality of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.), and to fulfill their own evil intentions upon an innocent Muslim. But, the Lord, who is the protector of His Messenger, obliterated their plans totally.
Then, the Qur'an syas :
"... but they do not lead astray but their own selves, and they shall not harm you at all..."
Finally, the Qur'an states the reason of immunity of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) from fault, such:
"... And Allah has revealed to you the Book and the Wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know,..."
And, it concludes the verse by saying:
"...and great is Allah's grace on you ."
In the above mentioned sentence, one of the basic reasons of the subject of inerrancy is shortly pointed out. It implies that Allah has tought the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) some knowledge and sciences taht he is saved from any fault and mistake, because knowledge and sciences, especially the knowledge of hidden things and unknown secrets, (in final stage) are the causes of light and inerrancy.
