surah Hud aya 91 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿قَالُوا يَا شُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًا ۖ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَاكَ ۖ وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ﴾
[ هود: 91]
11:91 They said, "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand much of what you say, and indeed, we consider you among us as weak. And if not for your family, we would have stoned you [to death]; and you are not to us one respected."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishThe people of Shu’ayb said to him: O Shu’ayb, we do not understand much of what you have brought.
We regard you to be weak amongst us, and you are not one of the senior leaders.
If it were not that your family follows our religious beliefs, we would have killed you by stoning.
To us, you are not a person of honour such that we would be afraid of killing you.
The only reason we did not kill you is out of respect for your family.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
They said: "O Shu'aib! We do not understand much of what you say, and we see you a weak (man, it is said that he was a blind man) among us. Were it not for your family, we should certainly have stoned you and you are not powerful against us."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
They said: "O Shu'aib! much of what thou sayest we do not understand! In fact among us we see that thou hast no strength! Were it not for thy family, we should certainly have stoned thee! for thou hast among us no great position!"
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
They said: "O Shu`ayb! We do not understand much of what you say, and we see you weak among us. Were it not for your family, you would have been stoned, and you are not powerful against us."
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
11:91 They said, "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand much of what you translate in arabic
قالوا ياشعيب ما نفقه كثيرا مما تقول وإنا لنراك فينا ضعيفا ولولا رهطك لرجمناك وما أنت علينا بعزيز
سورة: هود - آية: ( 91 ) - جزء: ( 12 ) - صفحة: ( 232 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Thus still they said to him: We can hardly, O Shuaib, grasp with the mind the comprehension you have of Allah, nor do we understand much of your discourse. In fact we do see that among us, you are but a man wanting in strength and not at all influential, and were it not for your family, we would have pelted you with stones and you are not very strong to prevail against us
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(11:91) They said: 'O Shu'ayb! We do not understand much of what you say. *102 Indeed we see you weak in our midst. Were it not for your kinsmen, we would surely have stoned you for you have no strength to overpower us. *103
They said, "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand much of what you meaning
*102). When Shu'ayb's people stated that they did not understand much of what Shu'ayb said, they did not say so because Shu'ayb (peace be on him) spoke in some foreign language, or because he talked in an ambiguous or complicated manner. On the contrary, Shu'ayb's teaching was quite clear and simple and was conveyed to his people in a language they fully understood - their own. The difficulty in understanding Shu'ayb's teaching arose from the fact that his people had become simply too perverse to grasp it. It is always the case that when some people become fully seized by their prejudice, are overpowered by their lusts, or begin to move vehemently in one particular intellectual direction, they hardly have the patience to give ear to any idea which is different from their own. But even if they were to listen to any unfamiliar idea, it would only sound to them as gibberish, as something coming to them from some other planet.
*103). It should be borne in mind that exactly the same situation that had obtained in the past among the people of Shu'ayb also obtained in Makka at the time these verses were revealed. The Quraysh were seething with enmity towards Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) and wanted to put an end to his life in much the same way as Shu'ayb's people were inimical to him. The only reason which prevented the Quraysh from violently laying their hands on the Prophet (peace be on him) was that his clan, Hashim, stood firmly behind him.
Thus, the story of Shu'ayb in relation to his people was exactly the same as that of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) in relation to the Quraysh. The story of Shu'ayb is narrated here precisely because of the obvious resemblance it bears to the predicament of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him).
Soon we will also come across (see verse 93) a very instructive statement of Shu'ayb's in response to the harsh expression of hostility (see verse 91). The implication is quite clear. The same statement would be addressed by Muhammad (peace be on him) to his own unbelieving people.
They said, "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand much of what you meaning in Urdu
انہوں نے جواب دیا "اے شعیبؑ، تیری بہت سی باتیں تو ہماری سمجھ ہی میں نہیں آتیں اور ہم دیکھتے ہیں کہ تو ہمارے درمیان ایک بے زور آدمی ہے، تیری برادری نہ ہوتی تو ہم کبھی کا تجھے سنگسار کر چکے ہوتے، تیرا بل بوتا تو اتنا نہیں ہے کہ ہم پر بھاری ہو"
