Innaka mayyitun wa-innahum mayyitoon (surah Zumar: 30)

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

(39:30) (O Prophet), you are destined to die and they too are destined to die. *51

Innaka maiyitunw wa inna hum maiyitunw wa inna hum maiyitoon

*51) There is a subtle gap between the preceding sentence and this, which can be filled by every intelligent person himself by a little consideration of the context. It contains this theme: "You are making every effort to make the people understand a simple thing in a simple way, but they are not only showing stubbornness with regard to what you say and rejecting it but are also bent upon harming you in order to suppress the manifest truth. Well, neither you are immortal nor they : both you and they have to die one day: then, each of you will experience his own end."
