God exalted be He says And We gave Moses the Scripture the Torah and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel saying that they should not choose beside Me any guardian to whom they delegate their affairs a variant reading for yattakhidhū ‘they should not choose’ is tattakhidhū ‘you should not choose’ thus turning away from the third person address in which case the particle an ‘that’ is extra and the ‘saying’ is implicit.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(We gave unto Moses the Scripture) We gave Moses the Torah in one instalment, (and We appointed it a guidance for the Children of Israel) from error, (saying: Choose) worship (no guardian) no lord (beside Me).
