Al-Jalalayn Commentary

And if wa-immā here the nūn of the conditional particle in has been assimilated with the mā which is extra some temptation from Satan should provoke you in other words if some diversion should turn you away from that better trait and other good acts then seek refuge in God this is the response to the conditional ‘and if’; the response to the command clause is omitted being ‘and He will ward it off from you’. Truly He is the Hearer of what is said the Knower of what is done.

(Lo! He is the Hearer) of what Abu Jahl says, (the Knower) of his punishment; it is also said that this means: He is the Hearer of your seeking refuge in Him, the Knower of the whispering of the devil.
