They -the infidels- tried their best to tempt you O Muhammad and incite you to make some concessions. They thought they almost seduced you into a course of action totally undivine

How the Prophet would have been punished if He had given in at all to the Disbelievers' Demands that He change some of the Revelation Allah tells us how He supported His Prophet and protected him and kept him safe from the evil plots of the wicked transgressors.
Allah is the One Who took care of him and helped him, and would not leave him to any of His creation.
He is the One Who is His Helper, Supporter and Protector, the One Who is to help him achieve victory and make His religion prevail over those who resist him and oppose him and fight him in the east and in the west.
May Allah send peace and blessings upon him until the Day of Judgement.

(17:73) (O Muhammad) these people have left no stone unturned to tempt you away from that which We have revealed to you so that you might fabricate something in Our name. *87 Had you done that, they would have made you their friend.

And indeed, they were about to tempt meaning

*87) In order to understand the significance of this verse.
we should keep in view the circumstances through which the Holy Prophet had been passing at Makkah during the preceding decade or so.
The disbelievers of Makkah were exerting their utmost to turn the Holy Prophet awry, somehow or other, from his Message of Tauhid, which he was presenting, and to force him to make a compromise with shirk and the customs of ignorance.
In order to achieve this end, they tempted him in several ways.
They practised deception upon him, and tempted him with greed, held out threats, and raised a storm of false propaganda against him, and persecuted him and applied economic pressure and social boycott against him.
In short, they did all that could be done to defeat his resolve.

( And they indeed strove hard ) they almost succeeded ( to beguile thee (Muhammad ) away) to drive you away and make you slip ( from that wherewith We have inspired thee ) regarding the breaking of their idols, ( that thou shouldst invent ) that you should say ( other than it against Us ) other than what We commanded you to do: breaking their idols; ( and then would they have accepted thee as a friend ) because of following them. This verse was revealed about Thaqif.

Verily, they were about to tempt you away from that which We have revealed (the Quran) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), to fabricate something other than it against Us, and then they would certainly have taken you a friend!
