Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 37
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّۭا ۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَمَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا وَاقٍۢ
And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation. And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allah any ally or any protector.

And so just like that manner of revelation We have revealed it that is the Qur’ān as a decisive judgement in Arabic in the language of the Arabs for you to judge thereby between people. And if you should follow their whims that is those of the disbelievers in that to which they summon you of their creed hypothetically speaking after what has come to you of knowledge of God’s Oneness you shall have no protector to assist you against God mina’Llāhi min the second min is extra and no defender to ward off His chastisement.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Thus have We revealed it) thus have We sent Gabriel with the Qur'an, (a decisive utterance) the whole Qur'an is Allah's judgement (in Arabic) in the Arabic usage (and if thou shouldst follow their desires) their religion and Qiblah (after that which hath come unto thee of knowledge) after Abraham's Religion and Qiblah were made clear to you, (then truly wouldst thou have from Allah) from Allah's torment (no protecting friend) nearby to benefit you (nor defender) to save you from the torment.
