﴿قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَهْطِي أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَاتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَاءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ۖ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ﴾
[ هود: 92]

11:92 He said, "O my people, is my family more respected for power by you than Allah? But you put Him behind your backs [in neglect]. Indeed, my Lord is encompassing of what you do.

He said ‘O my people is my clan more venerable in your sight than God? such that you refrain from killing me because of them instead of your protecting me for being the Messenger of God? And do you put Him God behind you neglected? rejected behind your backs not mindful of Him? Truly my Lord encompasses in knowledge what you do and will requite you.

My people , said Shuaib, is my family more esteemed in your sight than Allah Whom you have cast behind your backs and consigned to oblivion ! Indeed, Allah, my Creator, is Alimun (Omniscient), of all that your minds and souls impel you to do

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.
( 91 )He said: "O my people! Is then my family of more weight with you than Allah? And you have cast Him away behind your backs.
Verily, my Lord is surrounding all that you do.
( 92 ) The Response of Shu'ayb's People They said, يَا شُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ ( O Shu'ayb! We do not understand ) This means that we do not comprehend. كَثِيرًا ( much ) 'most of what you say'.
Ath-Thawri said, "He ( Shu'ayb ) was called the orator of the Prophets." As-Suddi said, وَإِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًا ( and we see you weak among us. ) "They meant, 'You are only one person.'" Abu Rawq said, "They meant, 'You are despised, because your tribe is not upon your religion.'" وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَاكَ ( Were it not for your family, you would have been stoned, ) This means, your people.
Were it not for their powerful position over the people of Madyan, they would have stoned him to death.
Some said that this means with rocks.
It has also been said that this means that they would have cursed and insulted him verbally. وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ ( and you are not powerful against us. ) This means, "You have no position of power over us." Shu'ayb's Refutation of His People قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَهْطِي أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ ( He said: "O my people! Is then my family of more weight with you than Allah?" ) He says: You would leave me alone out of respect for my people but not out of respect for the greatness of the Lord, the Most Blessed and Exalted? Does not your awe of Allah prevent you from harming His Prophet? Indeed you have placed the fear of Allah, وَرَاءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ( behind your backs. ) This means that you have thrown it behind you.
You do not obey it, nor do you respect it. إِنَّ رَبِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ ( Verily, my Lord is surrounding all that you do. ) This means that He knows all of your actions and He will reward you according to them.

( He said: O my people! Is my family ) my clan ( more to be honoured by you than Allah ) than Allah’s Book and religion; it is also said that this means: is the punishment of my clan more severe to you than Allah’s chastisement? ( And ye put Him ) you placed Him ( behind you, neglected ) behind your back, i.e. you put that which I brought of the Book behind your backs. ( Lo! my Lord surroundeth ) knows ( what ye do ) the punishment you deserve for what you do.

He said: "O my people! Is then my family of more weight with you than Allah? And you have cast Him away behind your backs. Verily, my Lord is surrounding all that you do.
