Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Our Lord do not cause our hearts to deviate do not cause them to incline away from the truth in their desire to interpret it such as is inappropriate for us — as You caused the hearts of those others to deviate — after You have guided us after You have shown us the way to it; and give us mercy from You as a strengthening; You are the Bestower.
