یاد کرو اے محمدؐ، ہم نے تم سے کہہ دیا تھا کہ تیرے رب نے اِن لوگوں کو گھیر رکھا ہے اور یہ جو کچھ ابھی ہم نے تمہیں دکھایا ہے، اِس کو اور اُس درخت کو جس پر قرآن میں لعنت کی گئی ہے، ہم نے اِن لوگوں کے لیے بس ایک فتنہ بنا کر رکھ دیا ہم اِنہیں تنبیہ پر تنبیہ کیے جا رہے ہیں، مگر ہر تنبیہ اِن کی سر کشی ہی میں اضافہ کیے جاتی ہے

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(17:60) Call to mind, (O Muhammad) We told you at the very beginning that your Lord is encircling these people. *70 And We made what We have shown you now *71 and also the Tree which has been cursed in the Qur'an *72 as a trial for these people." We are giving them warning after warning but each warning helps only to increase their insurrection.

And [remember, O Muhammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has meaning

*70) That is, "At the very beginning of your Prophethood, when the disbelievers of the Quraish had started opposition to your message, We declared that We are encircling them. They might try their worst to obstruct your Message, but they will inevitably fail in this and your Mission will succeed in the teeth of opposition. Can't they see that this declaration has come out true as a miracle, for their opposition has failed to hinder your Message, and they have not been able to do any harm to you at all ? This was a clear Sign of the fact that the Mission of the Holy Prophet was being supported by the Almighty God. "
As regards the declaration that Allah is encircling the disbelievers and helping he mission of the Prophet, it occurs in several Surahs of the first stage of Prophethood at Makkah. For instance, in'vv. 17-20 of LXXV, Allah says, "These disbelievers do not learn a lesson from the stories of the people of the Pharaoh and Thamud but are rejecting the Message hereas Allah is encircling them on all sides. "
*71) This refers to Mi`raj (Ascension) for here word "ru'ya " does not mean "seeing things in a dream" but seeing things actually with physical eyes. It is quite obvious that if it had been a mere "dream" and the Holy Prophet had presented it as a dream to the disbelievers, there was no reason why it should have become a trial for them. Everyday people see strange dreams and relate them to the people but these dreams never become such a curious thing as to make people scoff at the dreamer and accuse him of making a false claim or of being a mad person.
*72) This cursed tree, Az-Zaqqum " which has been mentioned in vv 43-4 of Surah XLIV, grows at the bottom of Hell and its dwellers shall have to eat it. This has een called a cursed tree because it is not given to people to eat as a mercy rom Allah but as a symbol of His curse so that the accursed people should eat it and get more sore, for this will, so to speak, burn in their bellies like the boiling water.
