We are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

(நபியே!) அவர்கள் உமக்குச் செவி சாய்த்தால், என்ன நோக்கத்துடன் செவி சாய்க்கின்றார்கள் என்பதையும் அவர்கள் தமக்குள் இரகசியமாக ஆலோசனை செய்யும் போது, "சூனியம் செய்யப்பட்ட ஒரு மனிதரையே அன்றி (வேறெவரையும்) நீங்கள் பின்பற்றிவில்லை" என்று (தங்களுக்குள்) அந்த அநியாயக்காரர்கள் சொல்வதையும் நாம் நன்கறிவோம்.

ඔවුන් නුඹ වෙත සවන් දෙන අවස්ථාවේ ඔවුන් කවර දෙයක් පිළිබඳව සවන් දෙන්නේ ද ඒ පිළිබඳව මැනවින් දන්නේ අපම ය. අපරාධකරුවෝ ‘නුඹලා හූනියම් කරනු ලැබූ මිනිසෙකු මිස අනුගමනය නො කරන්නෙහුය’ යැයි පවසමින් ඔවුහු රහසින් කතා කළ අවස්ථාවද (මැනවින් දන්නේ අපම ය.)
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
جس غرض سے وه لوگ اسے سنتے ہیں ان (کی نیتوں) سے ہم خوب آگاه ہیں، جب یہ آپ کی طرف کان لگائے ہوئے ہوتے ہیں تب بھی اور جب یہ مشوره کرتے ہیں تب بھی جب کہ یہ ﻇالم کہتے ہیں کہ تم اس کی تابعداری میں لگے ہوئے ہو جن پر جادو کردیا گیا ہے.

われは,かれらが聞きに来る時どんな(考え)であなたに聞くかを知っている。そしてかれらが密に話合う時,不義の徒は,「あなたがたは,只憑かれた一人の人間に,従っているに過ぎないのです。」と言う。
ChineseMa Jian
我最知道他们为何要倾听你诵经,当时他们来倾听你诵经,并且秘密地谈话。当时不义者们说:你们只是顺从一个中了魔术的人。

Tafsir of 17:47

The Secret Counsel of Quraysh after hearing the Qur'an Allah tells His Prophet about what the leaders of Quraysh discussed when they came and listened to him reciting Qur'an in secret, without their people knowing about it. They said that he was Mashur which according to the better-known view means someone affected by magic (Sihr); it may also mean a man who has a lung, i.e., a mere human being, as if they were saying that if you follow Muhammad, you will only be following a human being. This second suggestion does not sound correct, because what they meant here was that he was under the influence of Sihr (magic) which made him see dreams in which he learned these words that he recited. Some of them said he was a poet, or a soothsayer, or crazy, or a sorcerer. Allah says: انْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ الاٌّمْثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعْونَ سَبِيلاً (See what examples they have put forward for you. So they have gone astray, and never can they find a way.) meaning, they will never be guided to the truth and will never find a way to reach it.…
