﴿وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِ ۚ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ ۚ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْ فَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا طُغْيَانًا كَبِيرًا﴾
[ الإسراء: 60]

English - Sahih International

17:60 And [remember, O Muhammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people." And We did not make the sight which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur'an. And We threaten them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.

Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English
Abridged Explanation of the Quran

And remember, O Messenger, when I said to you: Your Lord has encompassed the people in His power and they are in His control.
Allah will protect you from them, so convey what you have been ordered to convey.
And I did not make what I clearly showed you on the Night Journey except as a test for the people; do they believe it or reject it? And I did not make the tree of Zaqqum, which is mentioned in the Qur’ān as growing from the bottom of the Hellfire, except as a test for them.
Thus, if they do not believe in these signs, they will never believe in anything else.
And I frighten them by sending signs, but they do not increase through them except in disbelief and remaining further in misguidance.


Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

And (remember) when We told you: "Verily! Your Lord has encompassed mankind (i.e. they are in His Grip)." And We made not the vision which we showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye-witness and not as a dream on the night of Al-Isra') but a trial for mankind, and likewise the accursed tree (Zaqqum, mentioned) in the Quran. We warn and make them afraid but it only increases them in naught save great disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allah.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation


Behold! We told thee that thy Lord doth encompass mankind round about: We granted the vision which We showed thee, but as a trial for men,- as also the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur'an: We put terror (and warning) into them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression!


Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri


And (remember) when We told you: "Verily, your Lord has encompassed mankind." And We made not the vision which We showed you but a trial for mankind, and (likewise) the accursed tree in the Qur'an. We warn and make them afraid but it only increases them in naught save great disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allah.

وإذ قلنا لك إن ربك أحاط بالناس وما جعلنا الرؤيا التي أريناك إلا فتنة للناس والشجرة الملعونة في القرآن ونخوفهم فما يزيدهم إلا طغيانا كبيرا

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

And for once We told you O Muhammad that Allah, your Creator, surrounds all people on all sides -therefore declare Allahs message and do not be afraid ever-. We only made you see the vision of glory We presented to you in your night journey through the spiritual world to test the inclination of the people and their spiritual and moral attributes. The same purpose was also served by the accursed tree growing in the bottom of Hell to feed the sinners. We purposed that the infidels be moved with a mingled feeling of dread and veneration toward Allah and realize the evil consequence of disobeying and denying Him. But on the contrary, it only makes them sink deeper under the vexations of their minds, run riot and transgress the goal


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.
 

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

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
