وَقَالُوْۤا اِنْ نَّتَّبِعِ الْهُدٰی مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ اَرْضِنَا ؕ اَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا اٰمِنًا یُّجْبٰۤی اِلَیْهِ ثَمَرٰتُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Saheeh International
And they [i.e., the Quraysh] say, "If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept from our land." Have We not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
The idolaters amongst the people of Makkah said, excusing themselves from following Islam and bringing faith in it: “If we follow this Islam which you brought, our enemies will quickly snatch us from our land”. Did I not establish these idolaters in a safe sanctuary in which bloodshed and oppression are unlawful, and in which they are safe from others attacking them, with fruits of everything being brought to them as sustenance from Me which I draw towards them?” However, most of them do not know what Allah has blessed them with that they should be grateful to Him.
