Tafsir
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.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(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.
