(Say) to them, O Muhammad: (Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you) that I am His Messenger. (He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth) of created beings. (And those who believe in vanity) in the devil (and disbelieve in Allah, they it is who are the losers) who will be tormented, i.e. Abu Jahl and his host.

Say ‘God suffices as a witness between me and you’ of my sincerity. He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth including my circumstances and yours. And those who believe in falsehood namely all that is worshipped besides God and who disbelieve in God from among you — those they are the losers in their bargain for they have purchased disbelief in return for faith.
