أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّى وَأَنَا۠ لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ
7:63, 80; 46:24.
Commentary:
This verse contains the answer to the charge of lying brought against Hud in 7:67 above. A person resorts to lying either because (1) he seeks thereby to gain some advantage, or (2) to do another person some harm or (3) because lying is a habit with him. Now Hud refutes the charge by saying, I am to you a sincere and faithful counsellor, i.e. being sincere I have no selfish motive, nor do I wish evil to anyone; on the contrary, I am solicitous of doing you good; and being faithful, i.e. possessing faith, I am not in the habit of lying.
7:63, 80; 46:24.
